so i wan't to camo clad my 4Runner and rino line the bottom body line. since you probably couldn't lay the vynil perfectly flush against the bed liner should i just lay the vynil down so the bed liner would over lap just a little bit.

anybody have any experience with the vynil graphics

Bump?

run4her

i do it for a living

haha, so give him a little advice then run4her

iamsuperbleeder

then he would be telling a trade secret, lol... hey, if I printed money for a living, would you expect me to give you some?

lmao, just kiding man, but yeah, lend a hand man; I have no idea, never messed with the stuff, but I'd guess just line the bottom, then after that ly the vynil above that; neither will probably overlap the other very well

Are you talking the full body wrap in vinyl?

4Banger

Yep...

soapy water. that's the trade secret.
spray the surface with soapy water and that lets you move the decals around until they are in the proper position
then you squeegee the water out from under the decal

Depends on which you use. The brand i used steted do not use anything put it on dry. Read the label closley.The pieces overlap. Overlap so water will un over not under kinda like shingles. I did a jeep, i cant get the picture to work on here.I cant get the laptop to resize it.Also do the rhino lining first lay the vinyl and work your way up

Some materials will be ruined if you wet app it. One huge thing is to prep your surface properly and the heatgun and a needle are your best friends.

Interesting point I hadn't thought of.
When I was dealing with die and laser cut and silk screened graphics a few years agp, all of my vendors used 3M products and the 'soapy water' thing was the manufacturer (3M) recommended way of positioning and fixing the product.
What's changed?

The sign shop I worked for used 3M vinyl with soapy water too. What materials will be damaged by soapy water?

And to the OP, start in the middle of the piece and squeegee outward.

+1
and if you end up with bubbles in the graphics, pierce the bubble with a needle and heat it up with a hair drier (not a heat gun- they will burn it).

alright thanks guys

Some crome and dimon plate is ruined by water. Some 3m control tac is ruineed aswell. I think it may depend on the type of surface too.

How much would it cost to get Camo clad installed on an 86 extended cab pickup. I see your In Lewiston, ID. My old man lives in Kamiah. Just curious on a price if I bought the Camo clad how much you'd charge to install it and how long is install time?

He said he was kidding abt doing it for a living if you read on
