More in 2011

We were very busy in 2011 so there are many more I would like to post, unfortunately I've got to pick and choose so- here are a few more.

The brightest orange I've ever seen in a matte finish- it actually hurt the eyes to look at it when installing- this one is for the "Bull run" rally. Mixed materials used, some Avery, 3m and Hexis.



Rockstar Foust rally car: 3m ij180cv3, 8518



FMF power beverage van: 3m ij180cv3, 8518



Fox Sprinter: 3m ij180cv3, 8518



A set of race bike fairings: 3m ij180, 8518.


Matte Black Porsche (our first luxury car wrap): 3m 1080 matte


We wrapped 10 of these purple and pink busses for Harrahs Casino: 3mij180cv3, 8518 gloss lam



A box truck and trailer fleet wrap for FMS:  3m ij180cv3 with liquid lam and transfer tape.



Schecter Guitar research motorhome: 3m ij180cv3, 8518


Moto concepts race trailer: 3m ij180cv3, 8518



Disney Aulani resort buss fleet- Full cab, body and window perf, General Formulations Auto-mark material. I believe there were 4 vehicles for this set.





A few highlights in Summer and fall 2011

OK, Lets pick up in summer to fall of 2011.

We were doing some nice Fall change-outs for retail windows. Here's Rip curl's San Clemente store:



And Huntington beach:



Most are printed using Oracal 3621 removable, 3651 or similar thin and low cost vinyl, no laminate and mostly hot off the press- Very difficult to handle. We use a wet install, a 2 man crew gets it done most efficiently.

A couple box trucks for Activate vitamin water using 3m ij180cv3 with 8518 gloss lam:



Interior walls, table and bar tops, and exterior windows for Chronic tacos in Corona, CA.  



Lets get this rig up to date!

AHA! Welcome to 2013... and it's already late September. Must be time to play catch-up with the blog...

So here is the goal for todays entries: Walk through memory lane and get this site up to date.

I'll try to keep it to highlight posts based on the month completed for a working timeline.

And here's a little retro love for the old "work truck" to kick things off:



Wrapped this little guy with hexis sparkle white, gloss red and matte black hood accent.
going for the reverse Starsky and Hutch style stripe for the side. 

1982 VW Rabbit diesel- bought with over 200k miles on the motor and it ran well for a summer.  We drove it hard though and the engine popped. Used to run about 400lbs of gear with the ladders strapped to the roof plus 2 guys in it. still got 30mpg even with the load. 
Sold it to a mechanic for $1000 with a blown motor. I think we both got a deal. 

And now down to business...
