    After talking to Phil (right signs) this morning I just had to post this, it has kept a smile on my face all day and got me thinking whats the most stupid job you have done.
    I phoned Phil to find out who he used as a supplier for coloured eurotrim frame as I had a customer that wanted a gold frame. Phil said he didnt use it and only used silver.
    Then he went on to say that he had covered it with vinyl once to get a colour match, I’ve had this image of him covering metre apon metre of framing with vinyl in my head all day now !!
    And to make it worse and really upset Robert he did it wet !!

    You never did it wet Phil 🙄 I bet that was a s*d to get to stick to anodised ali round all those corners and edges !!

    I have to admit though, I did exactly the same myself a couple of years ago (dry app though 😉 ) when a job required just a one off frame matched to an exact shade of manky army green. Actually, they have since moved shop and I just put new panels in to the same frame last week – it seems to be holding up pretty well, just a few loose edges.

    😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

    thanks for posting that mate.. but if im completely honest.. i have done thise twice before 😮 😳 😳 😳 maybe even 3 times 😕 😮 😮 😆 😆 😆

    albeit dry! 😉

    it wasnt big fascias about 12 foot or 15 foot by about 2-3 foot deep.
    we cut the lines the actual length but almost the exact width of each face.
    on the top one you obviously dont have to do the top area as it wont be seen.
    i put it down with a felt squeegee and it does take a bit of time.

    we had no choice though.. we needed the trim for the following morning & it was a gold match on each occasion, i think 😳 😳
