    heres the latest little smart wrap project that kept us busy in yesterdays snow!
    only the back end got wrappped in graphiwrap, had to say though the yellow was terribly transparent, the only downside to graphicast, the colour density of the vinyl is poor, especially when you need to wrap black panel areas as on this car.

    becoming good promotional tools these smarts.

    Awwww it’s so cute.
    Had to laugh the first time I heard the term
    “Wheelie-Bin”……
    We call them “Mini-Dumpsters”
    Imagine painting all those checkers by hand!
    Nice to be able to wrap-n-go.
    Love….Jill

    They drive the car straight in and put the wipers on!

    Nice wrapping, by the way. The bumpers look like fun to do.

    thanks everyone for your comments.

    just when you think you know it all……
    spoke to Graphityp earlier today regarding the colour show through on the yellow cast vinyl, we should have used the grey glue backed version, which blocks out more of the under colour of the bodywork. we used the standard clear glue version. works exactly the same way but is more tranlucent on dark backgrounds.

    so you really do learn something new every day!…

    regards
    Kevin

    thanks Rob and Stephen
    heres some we did not long ago, 7 cars in total. we had to complete colour change them to green then overlay the text.
    a simple design but quite bright when you see them on the road.
    once again we used grafiwrap cast green overlaminated.
    excellent material for these wide arch, deep grooved vehicles.

    regardas
    Kevin
