Everyone will have a different method, here's mine: Run vinyl close to the rivets during initial application of the panel. Once panel is in place squeegee as close as possible to the rivets. Hit with a torch for a split second then go over rivet with rivet brush. (3M rivet brush has super stiff...

I have an older build with an AMD Black Series CPU, 8G's RAM with an SSD for main and HDD for backup. I use Flexi for design/RIP and it has no problem printing wrap files. System was a custom build by a local shop. They interviewed me as to needs then optimized based on those needs. SSD for...

Sounds like you're trying to travel a very convoluted path. Your Summa should have been packaged with WinPlot or similar as a plug-in for Illustrator. Design in Illustrator use WinPlot and call it a day. Honestly though get Flexi and be done with trying to get all kinds of programs to mesh...

When you say clear do you mean laminate or liquid? I haven't had any issues with boat transoms but always willing to learn from a pro.

RealGoldInc.com has it. 49 bucks a yard.

UV printer with clear will easily create those types of effects. Problem is durability. UV ink isn't like solvent or latex and prints don't take laminate very well since the ink sits on the vinyl.

3'x6' wall graphic in white cut vinyl yesterday. $365 installed.

Where is Texas Signmaker when ya need him?

Dude, chill out. Posting the same thing three times on this forum ain't gonna get you an answer any faster. It will get you yelled at.

Got it. There are specific paints used for backlit but I haven't been around that stuff for decades so don't remember.

Has anybody tried panel bond for auto body? It's better than welding but the metal has to be ground free of paint. OEM's have been using it for years. My 1981 Mercedes used it on the front fenders. Beastly stuff.

If you don't normally do this type of work sub it out. I do.;)

Lotsa clueless people out there and it seems to be getting worse. This forum gets more "how do I do this or that" requests than I ever remember. If you don't know don't "F" with it! Absolutely clueless regarding regs, some jobs needing stamped engineering drawings, the permitting process...

My how times have changed. Apparently it has become exceedingly difficult to do a web search and cold call companies these days.:rolleyes: Note to the OP: Be careful what you ask for. I got a glowing recommendation for a company on this forum. Turned into a horrifying mess of lies...

Thanks for the information. I'll probably still try their gloss carbon. Might be good for accent pieces for the interior of vehicles.

There will be a shadow left from the old stripe. Makes a wonderful guide. Super secret squirrel trick: Rip off tiny pieces of green or blue painters tape and place them where you want the top of the boot strip to land. From the stern to roughly three quarters of the way to the bow will...

Yikes they're proud of that stuff. Just Google cerium oxide for glass. Lots of places sell complete polishing kits for about 20 bucks.

There are places that will make them for you. Hull Stripes is one of them. https://www.hullstripes.com/ Problem with the wide stuff is the compound curve at the bow. Takes time to get it to lay right. The marina I work with usually orders the stripes for me. If you want to look on your own...

We get the window rattling bass and high school kids with their cars that think a 4 banger sounds awesome with a "fart can" or straight pipe. SMH. Almost forgot the Harley 'tards with straight pipes that think wide open at 3am in a residential area is the definition of bad a$$. I'd bet a...
