Another of those Camo Wraps

[Roen]

A long-time customer of ours decided to order himself up some camo for his personal truck from Realtree.com. He brought it in over the weekend and had us give him a hand in applying it.

I've never personally been a fan of hunting camo myself, but it definitely did make the truck look hella' better then the paint underneath it. The vinyl itself was 3M Controltac and applied beautifully. The kicker for me was the matte finish and the way it applied, it didn't seem over-lammed but still worked fantastically, much more so then the Arlon 6000x and 6000xrp we've been using for a few years now.

The job itself only took an afternoon and an evening with the two of us chiseling away at it, the vinyl was excellent and the only issue was him watching us do it and trying to help.

I am sure the wrap was great, but I hate these Camo patterns that repeat.... it really sticks out like a sore thumb.

The camo wraps look awesome
Great work
What do you charge for something like that?

 

[petepaz]

that looks great and it is on a truck not a $200,000 dollar car

here is where Realtree gets it from www.camo4u.com - we have used these as well and it turned out great

Your right about that. Looks like stripes. Can't you buy the wrap material already printed? If so, from whom?

Not the sharpest tool in the shed are you. He got it from Realtree. There is even a link to a source in the thread.

i have used www.camowraps.com before. You have to purchase I think $1,000 worth of product to get started as a dealer.

If I had a job like that I would design my own, the repeat looks like rattle snake skin

The stock product from these companies is calendard 160c printed with UV inks and the printer prints a UV liquid lam. It has a nice matte finish.

Your install looks good, but be prepared for complaints about your install failing. This material is not made for complex curves and your customer brought you the wrong material for the job. Not trying to be negitive, just want you to be prepared if there is a problem.

www.CamoWraps.com will print on cast 180Cv 1 or 3 with a cast matte lam if you ask.

 

[wrappin]

www.camo4u.com will do the 180 from 3m, or they will do Oracal as well. Some people pefer that over the 3m. I agree that the 160 can create problems

Calendared & repeating...? Eww. Printing Bushwolf's patterns onto 3M Cast full size with NO repeats is the BEST way to go. So you don't have little logo's hidden in it that say Real Tree or Mossy Oak...so what. Just my .02¢
