vehicle wrap: McAleese Boats
Haven’t been on for a while though i would post a few recent jobs
Lost my usual login of IDGNI so now you all know my real nameLook at bottom photo first
This was a pain to do as customer wanted everything wrap so we even removed the back loading bay to get right behind the cab done,
worth the effort though.Pity i didn’t take a photo of the tractor pulling me out of the field after we got stuck. ( saw an advert of an L200 going over a mountain last night on TV. let me tell you it’s a load of bull as they would get stuck in a puddle 😀 😀 😀

Ian, nice set of photos, looks like hell of a job !
How long does something like this take you, how many guys did you have working on this ?Can I also ask if you have had training or are you self taught ?
Fantastic result btw
😀

Now thats a proper job, all trim removed etc.
Can I ask how you transferred the sea effect to the parts without a boat? was it just clip and paste?

we used Arlon and cast and laminate printed on Rockhopper II 64" with Inktech solvent inks
2 staff to apply in all aprox 2 days and my neighbour, a car body repairer to strip it, ( by far the best as they know where all the clips and rivets are so that you do not wreck them).the art work worked out well, the water effect was cropped from main picture and mirrored to give more lenght , i will post original picture later.

very nice work ian, looks good mate!
I have never used Arlon, never considered it actually. do you often use this vinyl, and if so… have chosen this against other makes of vinyl?
was this your first wrap, or have you done many?
sorry for all the questions mate, im a nosey wee git 😉

Ian great work
the way you work looks very impressive the amount you stripped makes this job 10 times better and i know when refitting the trim just how nice the job looks
i think you have done a first class jobvery NICE work
oh did i say love the design as wellrich

first class and cleaver use of the water effect, handy to have someone to strip the parts even removing some badges has it’s moments. I have been using Arlon for afew months now and find it the most comfortable to use, not that I have tried everything on the market by any means. Really nice work in every aspect, I guess you will not be having to much trouble when the time comes to change the poly tunnel cover.

I bet the customer was more than happy with that.
A good idea stripping the vehicle down, cutting around handles etc… adds time and complexity to the job, this way the finish will be miles better.
Is this your first go?

😀 😀you noticed my handy spay both, my father used to grow mushrooms , when he stop i took over one of the tunnels, best spray both i ever had , turned the fan around to extract overspray and it is that well insulated you can bake anything in it with a small blow heater
We do a lot of large format prints many in shops though like below the one which we won the award for
https://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=18207we usually only part wraps on vehicles so this was the first full one, i knew the guy that owns the l200 well and he wanted a flash job done so i suggested it , good fun but don’t think there is much money in them. They tie up staff too long. 2 men can make and fit a 10m x 1.5m dibond sign with cnc letters in less time with a lot more profit.
In this game you have to find the market that best suits your setup. As we mainly do full shop fascias and interior, our cnc, lorries etc are not being paid for doing wraps , that why we usually only do them and other vehicle for a change in work and a break between jobs.
