Van Graphics: springfalls cleaning: Update: Knifed!

[Marcella Ross]

That’s a really pretty design. Nice work.

[John Wilson]

Looks really clean and clear

But should a mobile number not have 11 numbers in it? 😉

[David Rowland]

that is neat

[del]

it has 11 numbers 🙄

[del]

yea dave, after all the agro with the hairline around the artwork, darn coral 😉

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Real purty.
I think I would have added a purple outline to the chrome for better legibility, but it looks elegant on its own.
I still don’t know why folks insist on two phone numbers over there!
That way you would not have to put MOB or TEL :lol1:
Love….Jill

[Nicola McIntosh]

nice job done del 😀

i agree with jill about the outline also watch your kerning on the telephone number its a bit too much 😀 how long did it take you to do? 😀

[David Rowland]

because the “cowboys in a trade” use mobile phone numbers
and the phone number gives you the location.

The Fax: numbers are the ones that I find pointless.

[Lorraine Clinch]

I’ll bet the customer was chuffed!

[Lorraine Clinch]

Del, I am really puzzled, and you will have to forgive me for asking this…..

Earlier today, you asked a question about how to make an outline around lettering, and then you show us a cracking bit of work like this van-so how can you not know about outlines?

Sorry, but you are obviously very capable as a designer, outlines are simple, and as I said, I’m puzzled 😮

[del]

Hi Lorraine.

I asked about doing outlines like months ago.. i think someone picked up on the post and and added to it, showing at a reacent post…

i guess somthing like that 😕

[del]

Hi Nicola.

took about 5 hours to do both sides.

i did say it would be better with an outline but thats how she wanted it…oh well, im happy if she is 😀

[Lorraine Clinch]

Ahhh, thats the answer then-didn’t look at the date 😳 Thought there was something not quite right!

[Jayne Marsh]

Really pretty, I like it alot. I wonder how well the chrome will keep it shinyness ( I dont think thats a word 😳 )

[Hugh Potter]

i reckon thats a great job Del, i’d be well pleased with that !

[del]

thanx hugh!

Jayne, the suplyer told me its only garanteed for 6 months, with i told the girl i did the van for… she was ok with that 😮

😀

[Phill Fenton]

Great work Del. Well done. Your customer should be delighted with that 😀

[John Simpson]

Well done, very pretty.

[Lynn Normington]

[John Simpson]

[del]

LOL, think i won her over with the girly cute design on the van 😉 😉

[John Simpson]

You’ve certainly done something right Del

[Nick Minall]

That looks good mate 😀 glad you sorted the cutting problem out.

Nick.

[Richard Urquhart]

a fine piece of work
i love the design and the colours if this is one of your first you will do very well
when i first started i was doing things like red blue and black text on transit vans i look back now and think oh my god did i do that
you however should look back in time at this and be one happy bunny

rich keep the good work up !!!!!

[del]

yep, was my first one. a bit daunting at first but soon got on with it 😀

[Shane Drew]

Del, great stuff mate.. and dry too… Rob will be pleased! See, all that worry paid off didn’t it. They get easier from here mate.

You have every right to be proud as punch. Of course, you’ll have to out do yourself on the next one :lol1:

Just a tip. If you are going to use a short term poly mirror finish, cut the same text out again in a clear, say 551, and place it over the chrome/gold text like a laminate. It is easy to do it the clear wet, and with a felt pad, but the life is extended, it stops scratching, and the gloss is 1000 times better. Just a thought….

That poly will be a mongrel to remove in 6 months.

Jill makes a good point too. The outline would have given you a nice touch, but would have made the removal of the poly a lot easier. Still, customer got what she wanted, and she was happy. That’s the best you can wish for. 😉

[del]

Cheers Shane! good tip about the clear over the top…learning all the time 😉

[Lynn Normington]

sorry for Hi Jack L J xxxxxxx

guess who

[John Simpson]

Now i feel better 😳

[Carrie Brown]

Well done Del, you should be very pleased with the van as it looks great, nice and clean. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

😀

[Andy Gorman]

Good job that matey. Well done and thanks for showing us.

[Gordon Forbes]

You can get 5 year chrome Cherwells I think I got mine from not cheap but at least it will last and everyone seems to recommend overlaying it on another layer.

Like the design.

Goop

[Shane Drew]

(put it on her drive and it got slashed over the weekend! ARRGH!!!!!! she is so gutted!! )

Del, I feel really sorry for you both.

It proves that you have lower life forms over there too.

Hope she was insured?

[John Harding]

Del

just wanted to add my twopenneth of congrats to those above, I really like the colours, hope you charged well for this though I guess it took some time.

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Those bastards!
What a mean thing to do to your pretty van.
(I just hope that chrome is not a bear to remove)
Love…..Jill
