Recent Jobs using 3M cv2

Very nice work. Like the partial.

How do you find the 3m?

I think there is a v3 coming out soon.

Thanks Jason.

I love the CV2. Resisted the change for a while because I was really happy using the Avery 1005.

But, when I won the National contract for Murrays, 3M and HVG bent over backward to help me with all the samples I needed to produce, and they were simply amazing in the efforts they went to satisfy my requirements to be in with a shot with contract.

In the process of doing samples, 3M gave me the cv2 and encouraged me to try it, as I was having some concerns with the 1005 on some deep recesses at the time, and the 3M cv2 went on so easily, I have just kept using it. I used the samples to wrap the recessed areas of my printer. Couldn’t believe how little heat I needed to soften it up. The 1005 is a great product, but the cv2 is better imho.

The new version, cv3, is out and called IJ380. By all accounts, they only suggest experienced applicators try and use it initially, because it is so thin, without some experience, it can be difficult.

I’m thinking of buying a roll next month to give it a shot. Its selling feature is that it is guaranteed to go into any recess and not pop. New technology and all that stuff, but it does not have the easy apply adhesive, just the control tac glue for easy removal.

if you log onto http://www.itsourshout.com.au/ they’ll send you a 3 metre sample for free. Got some great photos of people that have used it too.

Thanks for you comments. I don’t do many, if any, full wraps because I have no help. Only ever sell people on partial wraps….

Hey Shane,

I requested the same of the new film. The new material could be good on jobs I’ll have concerns over pushing the vinyl to far. I don’t like to stretch the vinyl where I can but sometimes you don’t really have a choice unless you want to patch.

If your going to use vertical panels you don’t really need an extra pair of hands. Using the rain guard to hold the vinyl away from the body of the vehicle acts like an extra pair of hands. The magnets do wonders as well. I use them to create tension on the vinyl where its moving out a little bit. It also lets you stand back and check your work without letting the vinyl hit the body of the vehicle.

Thanks Mike

Jason, I used the magnets for the first time on the currumbin job. I was amazed how easy they made the job to do.

Definitely in my fitting kit now.
