vinylmotivations 143 Posted August 6, 2011 Do you have the wrap templates for that?!? That you would be willing to share anyways? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted August 7, 2011 How you do this? Easy.............. Take the body, no work. Make panels manually with paper and pen. Scan the panels and trace them into vectors. Cut the panels with regular vinyl and check if they are OK. 100% sure they are not. :-) Redo untill 100%, roughly 8 hours of work sofar. Make template of the panels. Make a design over the panels. Print the design. Contour cut the design according to the panels. Apply the decals. Easy? :-) Exchange of templates always possible to discuss. Only sharing, sorry no.

vinylmotivations 143 Posted August 7, 2011 Looking at your pictures again after hearing how it was done- I see what your talking about. I figured it was a one piece wrap and not pieces. I would be interested in a one piece design, but there are so many bodies out there- it does make sense to make my own templates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpfguy 39 Posted August 8, 2011 now, a reverse print on clear and installed under lexan would be great. knowing the outside of r/c cars take a real beating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinylmotivations 143 Posted August 8, 2011 now, a reverse print on clear and installed under lexan would be great. knowing the outside of r/c cars take a real beating. Thats for sure! I know my 1/8th scale spent a ton of time on its lid.... On the outside tho- you could replace it and your body would be all shiney and nice again tho.... I am sure either way has its pros and cons. I would like to see done as a one piece wrap, stretched over the body though and not piece-mealed together..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted August 8, 2011 Vinylmotivation about an one piece wrap. It cane be done............... But there are problems like it streches on spots where your design is to get the vinyl to bond properly. It would take a study to find out where to place and preshrunk text and design for every custom design you make! On large cars they use panels too at the doors, hoods and so on. As the body is one piece does not mean the decals have to be one piece too. Due to the fact there is no paint used (seams overlap a little) at the inside the body last longer. Paint uses solvent to bond which weakens the body. For the inside reverse vinyl job have you ever tried to shrink vinyl in a inner dome curve? What about prepainted bodies? Those are screen printed and they make 1000 of the same design in one run. There they also have to take care for shrinking and deformation (that is why there is never a brand name included in the printing) when the plate of screen printed polycarbonate is vacuumed in the molding. Any question let me know. Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRD 9 Posted August 8, 2011 How about to wrap this bath tub body with one piece of vinyl without destroying your carefully made design? That is why panels are a must. Yes this body is wrapped too. paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
