    Hi,
    thought I’d post a couple of last week’s jobs.
    The McDonalds taxi is a black cab wrapped with red VWS and pre-spaced text applied on top.
    The Midori job is a partial wrap, printed on Graficast with laminate. Contravision and laminate on the rear window.
    Regards,
    John.

    the vws vinyl works well on the tx1 cabs.
    i like the simple but very effective design on the galaxy/sharan.

    good job

    Hi all,
    thanks for the positive comments.
    I did some training with 3M years ago but I am mainly self taught. I’ve found that once you are at a level with wrapping, the only difference is in how the material needs to be handled. This information is usually available from the manufacturers.
    We train our own fitters now but I’d recommend taking some formal training. I know that the guys at AdWraps do a decent job and is the only course I’d recommend at the moment. I’m sure there are other good courses available but I haven’t dealt with any other providers.
    VWS is great to work with on taxi’s but nothing else that needs to last more than a few months.
    The Graficast is a really good material. We use it for just about everything else we do. Only problems so far have been with Sprinter recesses or when we have had very heavy print coverage.

    Regards,
    John.
