Cheers chaps
The blue came out really well (again!) not the easiest to fit but a good look for this season methinks!

quote Jon Marshall:Pretty sure the Hexis is about £25/m cheaper than the Avery and it’s also 1520mm. Not used the new version they have but wasn’t keen on the earlier one which had almost no conformability.
Yup, that is about right for the price difference, the version we used was not too bad for conformability but not quite as good as the Avery. But the 1520m width was a must for us for getting the bonnet done in one hit.

Steam wands! got to love the Americans, heat and moisture. . . . yup that will work out well for you!
That is odd about the costing for the Hexis, we found much cheaper to use than the Avery, and as it was going on a BTCC car the amount used was quite a lot (front and rear bumpers re wrapped nearly every meeting) We quoted up against another company to get the work and we came in quite a bit cheaper as we went with the Hexis and the other company used Avery as a base material. And we knew that quite a lot of the cost would be the Chrome.
I haven’t used the IR heaters, we are stripping out and refitting our fitting bay so will look into them, any recommendations?
cheers

i did try and escape the motorsport industry. . . . . that didn’t quite work out too well for me! (this coming year is even more hectic)
We used Hexis for the chrome and to be fair it was absolutely fine to work with, not quite as supple as the Avery version but if you get enough heat into it it will go quite far. The only downside is it does bruise quite easily, so have to be a bit careful.
cheers

I cant say we dont enjoy working in the motorsport arena! Long days (and nights!) but we do get the odd ‘perk’ 😉
Next years livery is shaping up to be quite ‘exciting’ too!
As for the logos and lettering, we tend to print and contour cut them, as sponsors etc can change race to race, and if there is a bit of damage we can swap out logos as opposed to a re wrap of the entire panel

We use quite a bit of the 3M gear, a tip if you already haven’t seen it is when pulling of the liner soak it well as it comes off, you can never use too much water with it. Make sure your soapy water is nice and warm too, helps with softening the film and getting it into place. One thing to bear in mind is be careful with the rubber squeegee as it can ‘burn’ the face of the film if you are too vigorous with it.
