Interesting, They pulled out of Australia a few months ago with our rep telling us he heard it was due to UV issues. Thought it was odd but now worldwide. I doubt colour change wraps will go away or be replaced with dips. Apples and oranges. Have seen dips almost die over here except DIY...

My take on it (even from another country) is that its not a ticketable/defectable issue. In my state in Australia we are meant to inform our version of the DMV, other states are not. Again all the police can do is recommend we get it changed rather than give a ticket for it. You have to also...

One of the major problems in it all is the customer, they are wanting to pay bottom dollar and are approving the designs that we are harping on about that are bad. We dont tend to do too many digital prints, why? Because very few customers want to pay for both high quality material and high...

Interesting, if it actually worked as designed than would be a good bit of kit (except the price tag). Only way to find out would be to use it and then quickly take the temp with a stand alone laser temp, anyone willing to try....

Yes you can. Avery say they have seen issues with primer eating away at the vinyl where people have used it in recesses and other areas. We have never seen any issues with it and believe any issues to be from not waiting for the primer to dry before applying vinyl. Avery always say 'you don't...

The main problem with low or mid range vinyls is that they usually take longer to install. This means the labour cost goes up which cancels out any money that was saved on vinyl pretty quickly. The customer then ends up with a lower quality vinyl for the same price (or more) I would rather have...

All good questions and the reason for my original post to find out what i should be asking/checking for. Of course the owner will probably answer the 'right' way for all those questions so are you able to list the effects of those player so i can check for them?

Thanks for the tips. It has been in storage for 2 years so wasnt sure if there would be issues with things like the oil in the bearings drying up or anything. Will make sure i get them to show me some complex cutting and a long line to make sure the tracking is working properly

Hi all, How an you ensure you are getting good condition second hand cutter I am looking at second hand Roland GX-400. Were there any differences over the years in the GX range e.g updated versions? Are there any adverse effects you can expect if it has been stored unused for a number of...

Without being able to see one in person it is a bit hard to give exact advice but wrapping chrome trim is always a bit of a pain in the arse. Chrome window surrounds Not usually to bad except for the rear quarter window, can be tricky to tuck into the rubbers there. Mini squeegees will be your...

Very interesting, thanks for the info guys. Of course warning a customer of this id imagine could make them change their mind. In warning them can I say it is rare or are we saying it is pretty common?

Wow! what a mess, will be handy for people to save those photos and show to people that want to go cheap! So I get where you guys are going with the metallic theory, but what makes the cheaper vinyl cause it when high quality vinyls also have metallic in their range? With that many metallic...

They look like they will be fun to wrap! especially if your planning on doing all the colours in a swatch range. What we did was get Perspex squares cut the same size as the swatches, wrapped them individually with each swatch. We then put it on a flat gloss black board. Have seen others get a...

No worries. The idea behind it is it is low tack so easily removed. The 3M blue removes a bit easier and has a bit more of a glossy surface to not affect the adhesive of the vinyl. The lower quality ones can leave residue behind so prob best for the blue if u are going to press it down after...

Masking/painters tape is your friend! We use it all the time, its that added bit of insurance. The blue tape from 3M is great but expensive.
