Vehicle wraps – to roof or not to roof?
If you were asked to wrap a large vehicle, say a high top LWB Transit sized van or similar, would you take it for granted that the customer expected you to wrap the roof or not? Would YOU expect to wrap the roof? Consider that the roof can’t be seen from ground level but can be seen from 2nd floor windows etc… This question has arisen alot recently and I wondered what your thoughts/experiences would be on this…

Tell them that it should be done…and charge accordingly :lol1:

My instructors on the wrapping course that we went on said they only have to do the roof if the van is based in a large city or town where there are a lot of multi story office blocks.
My home town is classed as a country town so wouldn’t bother unless instructed by customer.

Always ask the customer first, we’ve done transits with no roof and double deckers with, there is no such thing as a set standard.

ide say always give them a quote with and without the roof done.
you will probably be suprised how many will do without when they see the price difference.
you have to remember the roof can take as long as a side if it has lots of knurls and raised areas on it. lots of vinyl and sore knees to go with it. -
quote Robert Lambie:you have to remember the roof can take as long as a side if it has lots of knurls and raised areas on it. lots of vinyl and sore knees to go with it.It could end up a really roof’ job
but then if you left it out you could end up being slated for it
Its a slippery slope I wouldn’t like to find myself onAll the best with it

and you’ll need an aerial view or satellite image of the roof…………
…and watch out for those gulleys….I find them draining -
Has anyone wrapped the roof of a Transit?
I did once. When I pulled the vinyl back to reposition it, it took a bloody great piece of lacquer off the paintwork, like two feet square!Weird, no?
-
yeh but you were fitting it while it was still in the painters oven andy 😉 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
-
never mind the paintwork
What about all those dents you left in the roof climbing all over it -
It’s funny you should say that. I went to wrap the bonnet of an ambulance once. When I got there the bloke said "it’ll be ready for you in a minute, they’re just finishing spraying it". I declined and went back a week later!
I may have dented the roof John, if I wasn’t such a slim fellow.

slims not my problem andy, i have to use a cherry picker to get onto the roof of a transit 😳
