Last week I did my first install that involved rivets, It was a similar trailer but without the horizontal "twist" :)

Can someone share with me how you install on this type of the trailer?
Over rivets and the horizontal ridges.

Using Oracal 751 and Rtape 4075. One color cut letters and a logo. 4'x2'

I will appreciate it VERY MUCH!!!!

I would hinge horizontally and work into and over the ridges leaving the rivets "tented" as I go along.
Then come back and work the rivets downwusing a pin to release air as needed,

yup, trailer is a brand new. That is the only good thing :)

I have a RollePro which will help with the rivets a bit. I was just wandering how to tackle the ridges in the combination with the rivets :(

The RollePro is awesome, but I don't think it does much with 751. I think it's mainly for air release vinyl if I'm not mistaking. I think you can do it, you'll just hate your life on this w/o some kind of air release vinyl.

Customer OK'd switch to an air release vinyl. Black cad-cut vinyl

I was wandering which one to get. I'm deciding between:

Avery Supercast 900 easy apply
Oracal 951 RA
3M 180C

Or if there is something that would work better, let me know.

Thanks in advance
