Hum !good or bad

[Plumb]

Just thought I would show everyone how I fulfilled some of my time during lockdown,and this was my project.we decided that our motorhome looked a little bit too white so thought I would have a go at vinyl wrapping as opposed to the other rapping!
Well not sure if it was a good or bad idea, my main concern is the durability and longevity of the wrap .The manufacturer I am a little sceptical of as sometimes they can be let’s say inaccurate with their assumptions! Nevertheless they suggest 8/10 years and apparently is removable without damaging the original surface during this predicted period .So here goes bought the vinyl and necessary tools for my job.

It’s a sort of partial wrap and decals so here are a few photos good or bad hum !

 

[The Old Man]

Looks very professional.

 

[Gaston aires]

Certainly looks a lot better than a plain white one. Good job done.

Looks very professional.

Thanks a lot for that never tried it before , it's a bit like wall papering only a bit stickier !

 

[Mark McG]

Impressive job. How did you get the nice neat cut lines ? Keep looking at the films and wraps but couldn’t fire out how to cut to the required shapes in anyway that looked professional

Looks stunning mate. A very professional looking job. ️

 

[Bucket]

Wow, I'm very impressed. Also interested as I need to cover a few areas.
Please can you post a before picture?
Also where did you buy the decals from?

 

[Gellyneck]

Looks very good indeed!
However, the wrapping on the number plates could have been a bit better done! Also concerned it may be illegal to do so!

 

[Jamesh]

How did you get all the bubbles out?

Any tips?

Cheers James

 

[Mikey RV]

If you are happy with the result that’s all that matters. My thoughts are it looks good much better than plain white, makes it more individual.

Hiya yes the cutting is done with knife less cutting tape it’s amazing stuff and simple to use !

Hiya bought the vinyl wrap online it is supplied in 152 cm x 1m up to 25 m rolls and you cut your own shapes this photo is not of my motorhome but is the same before I did the wrap

The trick is I know it seems obvious but try not to get any bubbles or wrinkles to begin with ,the idea is to remove a small amount of the backing paper and gradually smooth out the vinyl as you go.

I wonder Did you notice the piece by the front side door it’s where the champagne was launched from when we named the van?

Hello again the tape I used was called wrapcut pro its on a roll of 45 metres x 5mm wide

 

[Mark McG]

Thx for all the info. Going to be doing some research into this knifeless cutting tape again. Seem to recall heraing about it before but could get my head round how it could work! Could be fun!!

 

[Figaro]

Looks amazing and very professional so well done.
Unfortunately, I can't even get the screen protector on my phone fitted correctly

 

[Mark McG]

Wow. Watched a few videos on the wrapcut. Was it as easy to use as they show?

The graphics on our Rienza are looking faded maybe this would be a way to refresh its looks.Any volunteers welcome.

 

[Ridgeway]

It's one of the best looking vans i've seen, very cool indeed.

How much would you charge for a Laika EcoVip

Seriously i think you have a talent and i fully agree about the plain white ice cream vans looking so boring.

You used to just prick em with a pin or razor and squeedgeee the bubbles out easy enough.
Now though Avery make wrap now that doesnt need that, the air "leeches" out through the vinyl, they call it RAPID AIR release system vinyl

 

[Spanner]

10/10 for your patience and skill, it looks very professional, well done

Great job, well done.

 

[cyberyacht]

Thermal reactive wrapping would be good. White in summer to reflect heat and a dark colour in winter to absorb it.

Yes the wrap cut. Pro really is that easy to use I have placed some more pics of the tools and wrap I’ve used also the company I purchased the wrap from oh! These pictures are before the lovely Christine had got them on her phone——

 

[Lenny HB]
