really nice work mate.. meant to say. 😳
i take it you must get lots of this kind of work if your mrs is in this game?
which can only be good 😉
how long would a van like this take to paint? (assuming its paint that is) -
They look great Ian!!! 😀
I was wondering the same as Rob … are they painted???

nice work!
Darn it now you got me craving a Peanut Buster Parfait.
Love…Jill 😉 -
Thanks for the comments folks,
95% is vinyl, the swirls on the Noddy van and a few higlights are done with paint and airbrush.. Despite 100s of attempts just cant get good swirls out of vinyl.
The cartoons are all done in vinyl, I have asked rob to post a pic of my sign lab screen showing everything ready to cut for our latest van.
I was really good at jigsaws as a kid 😆
A typical Yorkshire man .. don’t cut by colour, cram as much into a small as you can to save a few pence on vinyl… never mind the fact it takes 10 times longer to lay up!!!!On some of the vans I do sometimes paint on the background colour if it is large area as I haven’t got the hang of wrapping yet.
As far as time goes, it takes about 2 hours to design and sort out cartoons etc. It takes about 4 hours weeding and cutting then about 6 to 8 hours to fit.
I usually charge between £380 and £700 per van depending on how much they want on them.
I charge the Mrs Tripple 😀 😀 😀 😀
