Couldn't even get one side done in this 45 min time lapse... time to get back in the game.

Quality work... that all it matters, at least to me. If i would have to choose between "faster" or "better", i pick "better" any day :)

I did 6 vehicles and trailers and only had one mistake after not touching vinyl for over a year, so I'm relatively happy with it, especially since it was all reflective vinyl applied in sub 50° temps. This guy bought wraps from a company I worked for a couple years ago, but just bought in to a franchise and had to change all of his vehicles. It was one of my better wrap designs so I was sad to see it go, especially replaced by this... Design, but it's all about the green at this point.

Here is a finished van. It will do the job mainly because of the Orange color branding and all the reflective, but it could have been so much better... I mean, they used Arial...

Is it just eyeballing in the lenghtwise placement of the graphic? Otherwise it looks great when finished!

naaah... I think it was strategically controlled mediocrity that he had to adhere to... the worst to me, is the secondary info on the back! Yellow perf with the 911 name on top would be my first grievance if a client made me do this


Nice job on the time lapse ucmj22
Can i do that standard on an iPhone? or with an app? ...or is it probably in standard settings on my cannon powershot?

Is there a reason you hinged it, then spit the middle? I usually do that as one piece

The length of the decal coupled with the height of the install. I didnt want to run the risk of jacking it up especially since I dont have a shop and the decals were sent from the other side of the country. With 35 deg air temps and reflective vinyl, one mistake and its over.

I'd be looking at at least 45 minutes for that between the prep and application. Not only you said it was cold, but you had to take the rivet/screws out and re-install and deal with reflective...

Good work for getting back into the game. Did the vinyl react at all differently in the colder weather? Unfortunately I don't have experience with cold, just heat and how it turns some vinyl into taffy. I'd like to hear any cold weather stories of installing vinyl.
