  1. Fun wall wrap for our shop

    Yes, this is just a sketch to get it started. It will be full color with a lot of detail.
  2. Fun wall wrap for our shop

    We are going to rewrap all the walls in our store, and one of my artists was drawing this up. We are planning on doing all older looking images like is in the illustration. It will be a fairly large mural, this one about 40' long x 10 feet tall. Any critiques? Or things I should add? Just...
  3. Boat striping

    It's about a 2-3 hour job if it is all cleaned and ready. We just did a 90' in about 4 hours. Going on quick once you get the hang of it.
  4. Laminating solid colors?

    I always compare it to like a tv for example to my customers. It can last 5 years or so, depending on the care of it, but it is only warrantied for xxx years
  5. Boat striping

    We would be at about $300 for labor for one guy, if the old vinyl is removed and glue cleaned off. I'd at least double my material cost, maybe 3 times if you still have to mask them. Plus travel.
  6. Does anyone have any thoughts/issues on the Avery SW 900 wrapping film?

    As long as your car is one solid color, and you do not have any seams, you shouldn't notice any color shifts. If you have for example a two tone paint job, especially with both dark and light colors, you might notice the red will look slightly different on each color. Same as if you do a seam...
  7. Printing on Marine Grade vinyl?

    I don't know the manufacturer. We just purchased it from a local fabric store. Jo-ann fabrics I'm pretty sure. We have done a few motorcycle seats and golf cart seats. We didn't laminate it, although I think liquid laminate would work really well on it. They have lasted many years, last I...
  8. Printing on Marine Grade vinyl?

    We have done it as well on our Roland XR 640 and XC 540. Works well if cleaned well.
  9. Any alternatives to 3M 94 primer? In a jam and need something ASAP

    Maybe check an auto paint store. Many sell adhesive promoters for molding tapes and such
  10. Any alternatives to 3M 94 primer? In a jam and need something ASAP

    I can't see a single good reason to use super spray 77. That is just a spray adhesive, vs an adhesive promoter. And I would imagine you would see the spray under the wrap. I dunno what you're wrapping, but if you work it in all the channels and no bridging or over stretching, promoter is...
  11. Boat Wrapping problem with cleaning boat.

    Never tried on a boat. I don't know how it would work on gel coat
  12. Boat Wrapping problem with cleaning boat.

    Do you mean how do you keep it straight going up to the bow? I am not sure what you mean about the straight up and end it short? I think you mean as you get towards the bow, the vinyl likes to rise up with the angle of the bow, and you end up short on the bottom? Is that what you are...
  13. Boat Wrapping problem with cleaning boat.

    Just make sure they use a cleaner or polish, no wax or silicone based product or the wrap will not stick as well.
  14. Boat Wrapping problem with cleaning boat.

  15. Boat Wrapping problem with cleaning boat.

    We do a lot of boat wraps, and get this periodically. We just found it easier either to call a mobile boat detailer, who will use a high speed buffer and compound or oxidation remover to buff it clean. This is paid by the customer. Or we do it ourselves with a buffer, and then charge it to...
  16. Streaks in Print

    It definitely looks like something is dragging. Maybe some banner fibers or a hair. It doesn't have to be on the print head, it can be somewhere else on the print carriage. I would take a flash light and look at it very well from different angles, and white it down with cleaning solution...
  17. Where do I find the white plastic screws found on choroplast signs? Help please!

    Here is what we use. They are called Christmas tree fasteners. http://www.merchandisinginventives.com/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=CTC-1
  18. Who has good pricing and service for wrap printing? 3m IJ180/180C for speedboat

    I'd help you out, but you are 5 hours away. We do runs longer than that all the time with out Seal and it works great. There isn't no one locally who can help you out?
  19. Motorcycle wrap. Need help with price and material!!!!

    Use 3m 1080, or avery sw900, etc. Some type of precolored wrap vinyl. Especially since this is your first time, using 751 or similar is going to be way to difficult. The rolls will come 60" wide, and I'd say by just looking at it, 3' would be plenty. There are a few places you can order...
