Hello all,
Really excited with the overall look of this car, not saying that our prior wraps were bad by any means but this Cayman has been my favorite this far out of the 5 we've done this year.
Just decided to share. I also learned a few new tricks for this vehicle. In the past we've Knifeless taped the race stripes, Which I'm fairly good at, however I do feel with my new knowledge of 3d to 2d converting for templates we will rarely pick up knifeless tape again.
I took a tip/trick from a user on here (Bob) to apply masking tape to a panel after laying the stripes that I wanted with painters tape, and then we'd lay it flat onto the work table and import a photo of it into illustrator.
I highly suggest doing as so to anyone who does currently have a plotter and feels the need to knifeless tape striping for whatever application they may be doing.
Any how, to the pictures.
2012 Cayman we started with
Old livery removed / installing black
Laying out the stripes how I want them with Painters tape and then a pic of how I created a cut file for the fenders.
Got a few Solid Matte black Pics in prior to installing the stripes
95% complete.
