Hope i posted this in the correct area.....All vinyls has been removed ,So i am currently donating my time and they are buying the material.The problem is ,they were to get the sides painted at a local shop so i can apply the new decals etc but the cost to have the paint done was more than was in thier budget and they are asking me if i can do vinyl on the sides at 24"t by the length needed,Ive never done large solid pieces before and im not sure if i should attempt it or not since i havent ventured into this area yet.I will have to trim around the lower portion of the windows which is roughly a couple inches,So im looking for your advice on install or should i just tell them i cant do it? Thanks for your help.

I posted this in a comment but realized the post was kinda old, so im posting it here.....I've been using these and lately ive been questioning myself on it.....So I was hoping someone could check these out.I got the Vinyl QuickCalc and the My Roll Calc from here somewhere awhile ago and i want to make sure they are doing the math correctly for breakdown etc...The main one I'm concerned about is in the Vinyl QuickCalc Spreadsheet one. It wont let me add the tax and I'm not sure why under the pricing page.When i put what the tax is here and then go to do a mockup sale , it doesn't do the tax,Tax here is 8.25% .If someone can modify it to make it work that would be great.And please check that the breakdown of wholesale cost is correct by my numbers if you could. I have a feeling its wrong and like i said i got this from the forum awhile ago when i first came on board and Ive tried added my material,costs etc so far.I dont want to screw myself on cost..Thanks to all..

I just played with it for a few min cause i got to head out , but i like it alot for sure.. Definitely a savoir in my book. So far its been dead on or really close to what ive tested, plan on testing more later for sure, i think it was worth the money..

Thanks Buddy ,There is so much involved when it comes to editing,creating,tweaking etc , its just hard to remember everything, so what i do is copy and paste into a instructions folder i created when someone gives me info like this ,that way i dont have to keep asking the same person the same thing...I will check out inkscape again but i will check Ai first lol..

Im currently helping out the local AMVETS( American Veterans Of America) on their 10 passenger bus that transports the vets to Doctors visits etc.They are buying the material as needed and im donating my work for the cause.Im looking for the American Flag as colored like this picture and a black and white POW flag as well the same The American flag will be facing to the left and the POW flag will be facing to the right.I will add stars if needed , As you can see the vinyl is just worn out bad and the stars have turned into circles lol...If i cant find it, please offer any suggestion to help get these guys looking good for going down the road.I do have full rights to get the images as needed.The Chief Commander of AMVETS post 2002 has granted me permission to get the images by any means..Thank you all for anything you offer as help.

I learned today when it comes to cleaning the adhesive left behind that you can use WD-40.And was verified by a automotive paint store as well... So Spray it with Wd-40 ,use a plastic razor blade and it comes off like a charm.Then use some good cleaner to remove the Wd-40 like rapid Prep cleaner..Worked perfect...Just make sure you price the clean off separate from the new vinyl so you know your getting a fair price for you on both ends of the job..

Did the clean off today,Removed the old vinyl with my heat gun and the residue was left of course.Tried the carb cleaner and it wasnt really doing the job.I found a interesting video and figured why not,it worked for this guy.So i bought a can of WD-40. I sprayed enough to put a light coat on the junk,and let it sit for about 10 seconds. took a plastic razor blade and holy cow , it came off like cutting warm butter.Nothing was left .WD-40 doesnt evaporate like carb cleaner does so you can take your time on it..Took some cleaner and cleaned off the Wd-40, and finished. Very impressed with WD-40 plus it is less aggressive on paint cause it s a lube.

Thanks Goose...the vinyl is really old and i did a test run with a heat gun and plastic razor blades. did so but adhesive is being a pain , a lot of cracks also, they are having it painted in a blue after the vinyl and adhesive is removed, i just need to get most of the sticky off so the shop cant say much about the residue left..so thats why they offered the new zapper since i brought it up...Ive seen the cheaper wheels used on a drill and if you dont keep the rpms just right then they wont work or it will burn the clear coat, the zapper is preset at the correct rpm, and needs just the weight of the tool to remove the vinyl etc, ive seen a few videos on it and it looks 1000 times better than the cheap version ..

Awesome job Moody..looks great..

I have a up coming customer that has roughly about 60-75 Sq Ft of vinyl that needs removed from a Veterans 15 Passenger bus.They have offered to buy me the MBX Zapper Vinyl kit for trade for the labor cost and buy new vinyl from me as well.. Since im new to this still and i do know the costs to everything that should be charged, Zapper kit runs around 450-500 and the vinyl they want is gonna get me about $350. should i take this ? Dont laugh at me lol

My buddy had invented a new attachment for dslr cameras just over a year ago , paid someone to design up his logo etc for his business, After finding out that the person wasnt doing thier whole job which was also promoting as well. My friend decided it was time to find a new person,When he asked for the design,they said he couldnt have it ,He paid for someone to create it ,which was different then having it made for him..He contacted a lawyer and the person who designed it had rights to not give it or sell it if they chose not to.So he had to have a new logo made which was actually a good thing in the end for his business .Just me 2 cents.Since my friend had this happen to him.It all falls down to how the design was to be implied,was to be created for or designed for in the contract.

I wouldnt give it to him if it were me .. since he is that way. if he wants them, then he can get them made from you ,otherwise keep them or charge triple what they should sell for normally.. it comes down to how much will you make off them if they do or dont get them from you and go somewhere else and he says the design is his and has them copied ..

Thank you mark.will check it out.Now i just gotta figure out the other.Our fire dept just got a lot of their funding took away ,thats why this is being donated and they closed down a section of the fire dept that the wifes and volunteers used to use for fund raisers,so they are needing help in many ways.
This is the donated job for the vets, need help

Thanks Guys..Just to clarify just in case, they dont want the white sides unless needed.,,They want the sides in a Blue color from the window seams down to the lower seam, the original plan was to have the whole sides top to bottom painted and then have the graphics put on below the windows,,, but now they are trying to put it on me if possible.the designs are not going to be the same that was on there before, 75% change to something different.
