Rolle Pro is great for rivets, if you do not have one... Do yourself a favor and buy one! I no longer even care if it has rivets, it is so easy to make the bridge and heat. Get the right temp and it goes down perfectly almost every time! If I was being robbed and the thief said give me your car and the rolle pro, let's just say he would need back-up to get my rolle pro..lol.

It takes me about 9-12 hours to do a 24' box truck (Sides & Backdoor). I am a bit slower than some, but the work is good. If speed is an issue, bring in more certified installers and charge more..lol.

$4,500 might be expensive in some areas and a great price in other areas. Also it depends on if the work is needed badly or they have plenty on the ol' job board. I lose some jobs in my area, b/c I will NOT lower my price. If they are not willing to pay for quality work, then they can go somewhere else.

Also for you wrap guys out there that need more work. Research large marketing firms within a tri-state area and send them a custom proposal. You will bid on a ton of jobs and might get some of them. They deal in FLEET projects and travel will be required in some cases. Hope that helps...
