  1. I need advice with laminating

  2. I need advice with laminating

    Have you tried laminate it cold? If the little bubbles are repetitive then it's your rollers. If it was reconditioned then it wasn't done right.

  4. Wrapping a Ford F350 Dually

    Not sure about the pricing but check on 3m 380 instead of 480. the 380 and 480 both has the same stretchability (150%) and no vinyl memory ( it won't pull back as bad as the 180) the big difference is that the 480 is more eco friendly vinyl. It might be more expensive compared to the 380 but 380...
  5. Help pricing this lettering.

    400-600 each vehicle. It really depends how cheap or expensive the other shops around you. I would say I would keep the cost the same for both of them. Yeah, the truck doesn't have graphics on the rear but the sides are a lot bigger.

  7. Any alternatives to 3M 94 primer? In a jam and need something ASAP

    I am doing vehicle wraps for 10 years now. I did around 300 vehicles last year ( not all full wraps) and also a 3M preferred installer. There is no way I would use the spray 77 on a car unless you do the carpet on the roof. Don't use pro bond. It does not work as good as primer 94 if you...
  8. Anyone's notice this on Signarama webpage

    I have seen that years ago. The signaramas around me don't even have a place to do a wrap. They mostly do signs or lettering and stickers in front of the store or the back. They hire other people to do full vehicle wraps. I have no idea how they managed to use that picture for their website but...

  12. Boat Wrapping problem with cleaning boat.

  20. 20’ truck wrap pricing question

    Are you wrapping the whole cab? It was left white on the picture you attached. I don't think I would mess around with calendared 651 oracal. I would just print the whole think on 3m 40c and cast on the cabin. Usually I charge $100/feet for the boxtrucks. So if they have a 16 footer i charge...
