car looks great mate, very smart!
im looking at it and ide guess you eather had some sort of kit to apply this, or did you have to make it upyourself, as i cant imagine you cutting the vinyl to shape “on” the car? if you produced yourself how did you go about this, was it onscreen digitised? just me being nosey mate, looks brill & thank you for taking the time to post your work. 😉 -
We took a digital photo and resized it. The customer asked us to use a cloth tape to measure so we wouldn’t scratch the bodywork. The vinyl was cut to shape before we applied it as we couldn’t cut on the bodywork as it is all carbon fibre. We had to come up with the design ourselves but the front view was our customers idea to make it look like the F1 car. This we printed on the gerber edge for the shading.

Well done.

nice one mate, sounds the same way i do chevron kits etc, did it fit first go? i mean the cut vinyl… things like the bonnet are hard to get a square on picture for digitising, i had the problem with a curved rear door, i always make the first template out of stencil grade vinyl, make sure its fitting before producing multiple rears. templates take a few hours to get right but if you have a job like yours, or a fleet of vehicles its the only way to go.
