Just finished this project for a family friend.
Did the design (Logo and everything), printed in-house and installed on Saturday.
Came out pretty neat I think.

Not to piss in your corn flakes, just an observation here, take it for what it's worth. Your seams are going the wrong way. they *should* be vertical panels starting from the back of the vehicle. If you do decide to panel horizontally, you want the overlap the other way, so it's on TOP of the bottom panel so it doesn't create a "shelf" for water to sit on. You may see this fail prematurely...just sayin...

I know that. Customer just wanted to eliminate seems.
Put edge sealing tape (Half width) over the seem to prevent the "shelf" :)
But thanks anyhow, good points to make someone aware of it.

How difficult is that vinyl when it comes to getting it to lay on them double contours?

If you use cast vinyl, a bit of heat and the right technique, it is not that big of a deal.
Cast vinyl is a must.
I took two 2-day classes, watched a ton of videos, and still struggle with a certain things. If you do not have patience, it is not for you :)

Before I got into printing, I used to tint car windows. There were 2 vehicles that were a major pain and that was a VW and a corvette. I would always tint the back glass using a dry shrink. It took major patience for sure. Nice Job on the wrap.
