I get 3 to 4 request for carbon wraps a week mainly roofs or bonnets. Over 90 percent freak so i just tell them to go price the real thing. In most cases we are cheaper than the paintshops to do a colour change. I reckon they just see sticky back vinyl and think cheap! SC

+1 Not your problem mate. They supplied the material how can you guarantee it? Probably this stuff http://carbins.en.alibaba.com/product/629738636-214216954/Red_Chrome_vinyl_film_Chrome_mirror_sticker_Car_wrap_air_bubble_free_quality_1_52_30m_size.html I personally wouldn't of undertaken a...

I normally do not critique but this time I will. You may as well get a bucket of red and a bucket of yellow paint and throw it over the sides of your trailer for all the advertising space that has been wasted. This is a typical MX background which can be to fussy and distracting to what's going...

Check the capping station is sealing properly. When you do a clean is ink coming through the pipework, as ink can easily harden and block in these machines Check the encoders are clean as that looks very uniform. SC

I'm reading Spike Milligan War Memories their are about 7 books in total. I'm on the last one and I don't want to finish it!!! Spike was a genius of life and comedy. SC

Matt I thought this either the customers or bodyshops job. We clean and degrease the vehicle prior to application but in no way would I be undertaking claybaring a vehicle before application! The customer must be made aware that the vehicle must be presented clean and you will be further...

Mike N I have been running non original and a bulk ink system for over 3 years now with no adverse effects. It is so easy for techs and original suppliers to blame inks other than their own machines. Mind you I would not use aftermarket inks until the original machine warranty finished. I...

Sorry but your nozzles have been blocked for such a time as to be unrecoverable. Mike the pump will always pull clean ink through the nozzles it is impossible to pull dirty ink as their is no pump from the drain tank back into the nozzles! Bozz282 get your tech back to rectify the problem. I...

I get about 8 off these numpty customers a year. I just wish I would learn and show them the door when they walk in our shop. They seem to come in acting like they are the business that will end all businesses and conquer the world! I just look on these jobs as a challenge to give the customer...

The thing is when this guy came into the shop he was bad mouthing everybody that has been doing work for him (painters, decorators, electricians, IT, etc.) Guess who will be next?! I just rang him back and he thinks it looks great!!!! SC

I like the idea of meeting face to face but I am not willing to waste yet another 40 miles worth of fuel and time on this dead beat job. He has asked for some more flyer designs of us so I will wait till he comes back in (I have his only copy of his artwork so he has to come in for it). I will...

Last week we had a customer opening a shop in a hurry. He came in explaining he had spent a fortune on equipment and the interior but had little left for the signage. At this point I should have shown him the door as it makes my blood boil that signing a shop is always the last thing on people...

I reckon you will run into problems (blocked heads, etc.) eventually. I've fitted a bulk ink system to our valuejet and ink cost is no longer an issue so I have upped the amount of times it does a clean. To be honest I think you are doing your machine more harm than good. I have found these...

I say separates also as both the printer and plotters spend all day plotting and printing. I reckon I would have to live at the shop if I had a printer/plotter as the days at long enough now. SC

I have already searched google and the images are not good enough as they are paticular store fronts. I have seen something done in the shopping centres over here which looks a little more like what I'm looking for. SC

I have been contacted by our local town planners to submit a portfolio for artwork to shop windows. This is to advertise a currently empty shop so as to give the impression of what it would look like as a open business. I know this a long shot but finding generic high quality images of shop...

The material we are using was the alternative and has worked OK up to now. Spoke to the manufacture and they gave us some new heater settings for this material and it is a lot lower than we have ever used on a vinyl. Rear 32 Middle 33 Front 37 We live in probably the wettest country in the...

I've messaged you. SC

Nice design. I know designing your own stuff is a nightmare it tooks us nearly 3 years o do our van first time and then it was changed 3 months later. SC
