One of Wednesday's projects - police tahoe

[intensegraphics]

Pretty simple project overall. It did however manage to reinforce my hatred for reflective vinyl

There is no reason to hate reflective any more. 3m's IJ680 with compy is God's gift to the vinyl installer. I recently did a tahoe for a local fire department. After I pulled it out of our shop to take pictures I noticed the malteese cross was a little off. Now I already squeegee the material and took the premask off. I still was able take the cross off the truck go back and re-premask it and apply it back on straight. No more scaring and no more need another set of hands. When I need red or yellow reflective I print the color on the 680 (because it only comes in white). This stuff is the best.

Intense- The Tahoe looks good, I love the subtle yellow-white gradient.

We use Nikkalite reflective. It's not so forgiving that you can remove and replace it, but the price... oh the price! We can actually make money with a reflective job without scaring the customer across the county at the sight of the quote. We're installing some tomorrow on an F350 for a local fire company, I'll post pix.

Check out 3M 680CR. It comes in several different colors.

680 is nice, but that stuff ain't cheap!
