  2. OLD wrap removal

    replacing hood is not always the best way to go. I just did it last week and still took me half a day to hunt down a hood from a junk yard. go there. find it. Remove it with someone. ( you can remove the vinyl yourself but you can not remove a large suv hood by yourself) then change the hood...
  3. VersaWorks Not Reading Cutlines.

    don't forget guys the stroke needs to be centered or it won't come up in vw. cmyk or rgb does not matter. also make sure there is no transparent or gradient on any layer. also can't have any effect like shadows. or you have to flatten the layers with white background and have cut contour on top

  10. 3M wrap material

    Never had a shrinking problem with 180 films. the 180mc is a pain. The air release is so tiny it will give you bubbles that you can't get rid off :( if it touches the vehicle and you reposition it or touches itself it will mess up the glue and you will see a weird texture from the glue. I have...

  14. Question 3M IJ180mC-10 Aggressive

    You guys will never go back to 3M :D:D I used to love 3M when they only had 180cv3 and the old aggressive IJ40.

    Keyword is temperature. If it's colder the 3M will be more rigid. Glue is aggressive for sure. Other than that not sure If I would have done matte color on a boat. It will be a lot harder to clean.

    I like it. I think you should make the cup larger. Even the drawing shows a large cup. Doesn't have to be super big but a little bit larger. Make the nina bolder.. Make the bottom text thinner. DONE

  18. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    I bought a car cover. It's a little bit pain to put on or take off by myself since the dodge durango is pretty big and tall. The biggest problem is that in florida we have some crazy downpours... Not a deal breaker but now i gotta do this for YEARS. every day. multiple times :( And if I decide...
  19. Avery Calendered

    Not sure about avery. I usually use 3M 40C. Never had a problem with it it 10 years. Easily lasts as long as cast.. But I only used it on flat surface like box trucks or trailers without rivets. For simple shapes you can use it. I have seen people using it around complex curves also without a...

    I spoke to the code enforcing supervisor. Not much luck. He was straight up d*ck. When I asked him why can't I park my own car at my own house he's answer was: Your car, your house, in MY city. When I told him there are plenty of actual commercial cars in every street right around me he was...
