Kawaski Mule wrap - sticker overlay on wrap material?

[aerial]

I am an installer, and have to wrap a Kawasaki Mule, full wrap to change color from red to blue. There will be a few logos added. The vehicle is wonky to wrap, and It would make life much easier if I could put on a solid color, and add the logos on top. The vehicle is garage kept. Good idea? The client uses 3M. I never used a color change material, but would that be better than printing a solid color? I believe the client has a PMS color blue. Thanks!

On some things it's more beneficial to add logos after you wrap, I do it all the time. Plus if the base is just a solid color it gives you the option to just use colored wrap vinyl if it's available in the color you need, and not have to print/ laminate everything. Saves time, money, and even if you have to print for the correct color it eliminates the headaches of getting logos lined up and straight on anything that'll be difficult to.

If it's a PMS blue, you will probably need to print it unless he's good with a solid color. Honestly those side by sides have such a minimal amount of material, it's easy enough to print the material.

Thanks so much for your replies. Made my life easier! I really appreciate this forum and those who take the time to help.

The issue with these is that the vehicle body itself is made of low surface energy plastic, so getting any vinyl to stick well as a full wrap requires a lot of extra prep/work. It can be done, but it can also go badly.

He said he's an installer, I assume he'd know that, but good point in case he doesn't.
We do stripe kits for Mules, and we usually flame treat first when we do the installs, especially on new ones.

I have done a few of these, some with large decals, and a partial wrap. I have not had any callbacks. This one is a full wrap, no original color showing. It's going to be a pita with all the deep indentations. I've never needed to flame treat, but thanks for the tip- I'll have to research and adjust my quote.

you need to use a high tack vinyl with air aggress/ez apply then you should have no issues other than not being able to reposition the vinyl

Think allowing 6 hours for this install reasonable? Full wrap, minus interior of bed. I'm not concerned about speed, but need a fair quote for installation.
