It was some kit he bought online and was trying to find someone to install it. Basically a full hood wrap, not just stripes. It was gloss black calendared Oracal 651.
I told him I was sorry, I wouldn't do it. It was the wrong material, it would never look right, and on a horizontal surface would have no warranty. I offered to do it in 1080 for a reasonable price, but he told me he'd already paid $200 for the stripes and couldn't afford to re-buy the vinyl. I told him if I were him, I would return the material as he got ripped off.
He got pissy and snarkily told me "I'll remember you not doing this for me next time I need signs!"
I said "I hope you do. And I hope you remember I was honest with you about the materials you brought me, and in a year when the vinyl is cracked, peeling, and damaging the paint on your brand new truck, you remember that saving a couple bucks was more important to you." He turned on his heels and literally peeled out of my parking lot. :ROFLMAO:
He was a real ***** about the whole thing. I tried explaining cast and calendared, horizontal vs. vertical, etc. He just kept going on and on that "Rand" (the company he bought it from - I've never heard of them?) would never ever sell substandard materials and they know what's best for vehicles, etc. OK, bud. Have fun with that!
