  • Thought I’d wrap the car as I’m off work.

    Posted by Karl Williams on 23 September 2008 at 20:08

    As I’m off work at the moment I found this really relaxing to do. Some faults but not bad for a novice me thinks! It’s not finished yet just in case anyone points that out.

    Looks good Karl. If you want something else relaxing to do you can have a go at my van. It’s looking very plain. 😉

    Considering it was for a relaxing thing to do, that’s pretty good Karl.

    When you’ve finished Brian’s van, get yourself down to Essex to do mine 😀

    What you doing off work anyway?…holiday I hope.

    Mine will be before Hugh’s 😀 Suddenly your looking pretty busy Karl

    Asking for mine to be done was very cheeky mate. And you want yours done on-site! :lol1:

    Hi Karl

    Looks the dogs danglies 😉 Like the bold statement, very effective me thinks.

    What media etc did you use and did you wrap straight over the glass windows?

    Hope you doing well mate, must catch up soon 😛

    Great job Karl,
    as you are doing the rounds, i am only a few miles from Brian, so can you do mine as well?

    Thanks for the comments guys. 😉
    Warren, It’s Mactac. I can’t remember the code off the top of my head…
    Jt something or other. tacks like superglue, but is easier to apply if a little heat is used over the vinyl when removed from the backing paper.
    I wrapped straight over the windows Warren. The vision film doesn’t give a crisp enough effect for the impact I want.
