If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Gas Tank Vinyl Wrap

Hey Planecrazy,

to do a full wrap on lets say a pickup truck or a durango, canadian would be about $2500 But thats a lot of material and time involved. Alot of my customers decide on a half wrap which is about $1300. A gas tank is less material but takes a lot of skill and know how, I charge $600 canadian for design materials and install. Messege me if you have any more questions. Ill be putting up some pics of the work Ive done. Visit the Group called:

78GSers

Ill be posting them in a couple days.

Anyone interested in
 
How are you going to get a flat sheet to lay flat down on a compound curved surface like a gas tank? Vinyl sheet is fine on a flat surface, or with bends in-plane, but it won't conform to curved surfaces unless you stretch it.

I'm just coming off a week of installing decal stripes from Reproduction Decals on my 1000S project and trust me, it ain't easy getting those things to lay flat on curved surfaces and these are just thin stripes, not large sheets of vinyl.

The vinyl used in wraps is very conformable. A heatgun and roll is how I did most of my work. Felt squeegee are a god send in corners and cracks too. Just have to keep working the wrap till its flat.
 
Thanks Hammered, you said it right. Skill and experience has a good part in the install as well. Stripes and MOtocross graphics are extremely easy to do Nessism but Ive been doing installs for over 10 years now.
 
Thanks for the info ... look forward to seeing the pics!
