Dellrose Custom Lighting 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Last week I was talking to my fire chief and asked him about lettering our portable air supply trailer, and he asked me what I had in mind. And this is what I came up with. I am going to install it tomorrow and will have some pictures of the trailer after it is completed. The yellow part of it done in reflective to help it stand out.

Dellrose Custom Lighting 0 Posted April 7, 2008 I cant wait either. This will be the biggest decal that I have done. There will be 2 of them at 24 x 30. I didnt have any app tape big enough, but I called another local sign shop and they sold me a roll for a little bit cheaper than ordering it off of the net . Most every other shop I have talked to will not sell me nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted April 7, 2008 Yeah I learned over the weekend the importance of having the CORRECT app tape size....without it, I made a bit of a mess I needed to correct! Makes me wonder how many sizes most people here have at home?? I only have 2 sizes looks like I need a few more to have handy. I have the same problem here, the 2 local sign shops won't help me out for nothing.........that's fine though, I'll return the favor some day.....well maybe.

Dellrose Custom Lighting 0 Posted April 7, 2008 I had 6.5 and 15, but I didnt want to try and use 2 pieces on this. At least now I have a roll for just about any thing that I will be doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormy 5 Posted April 7, 2008 I do a lot of 6", 12", and 24" decals. I have a roll of 7" and a roll of 13" in both clear and regular. For my 24" decals I just overlap two 13" pieces. Works just as good if not better when applying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted April 7, 2008 We have just 2 sizes right now...6.5 and 10" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dellrose Custom Lighting 0 Posted April 8, 2008 I got the decals put on today, and it looks better than I thought that it would. I actually figured that it would be harder that it was to put them on with as big as they were, but it was fairly easy. The hardest part was getting them centered where I wanted them. Here are a few pictures of the finished product, let me know what you think about it.

ff-extreme 6 Posted April 8, 2008 Looks really good! What vinyl did you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted April 8, 2008 Them look great....as far as app tape width, I have only 12" rolls, need anything bigger I overlap need anything smaller I trim it down after I apply it and save the scraps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dellrose Custom Lighting 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Looks really good! What vinyl did you use? I used Arlon/Calon (freebie) on the front and back. The side graphics are LG VizuonCal 6000 and the yellow reflective is some that I got off of eBay. I thought that the reflective would make it look good at night.
