Good Afternoon Folks. Optimum signs out in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. I hope you all doing well. I just wanted to show you one of the jobs we did today. This was for the Pitbull Advocates of America. They are an organization here in town that actually advocates for the fair treatment of pit bulls. They are a phenomenal organization. It’s a great group of people and I have to tell you, they do some great work.
What we did here, we took this Nissan NV200 and the design for the vehicle and made them work together. One of the tricky things about vehicles like this is the number of contours on the surface of the vehicle. As you can see, there are indentations which is where the window wells would have gone, there are obviously the lines for the doors, a sliding track, and of course, the rocker panels on the lower part of the vehicle. Normally with vehicles like this, we don’t wrap the lower rocker panels because they’re very difficult to get things to stick to. They are made so that tar and road debris don’t stick to the vehicle. It also is the first place that’s going to get chipped or damaged. So we decided on this one we were going to carry the wrap down all the way through the entire vehicle. You can see what we did here when I walk around the vehicle and show you the other side. The interesting thing about doing wraps, specifically, when you have horizontal body lines like this. The question is do you align the lines parallel to the ground, or parallel to the body? For this wrap, if you noticed, all the design lines are parallel to the ground. That’s because on this vehicle, the body lines are not parallel to the ground. The body lines for the window insets rise three quarters of an inch as it goes from the front of the vehicle towards the back. We decided to keep it parallel to the ground in this case and preserve the design.
This is a 3/4 vehicle wrap front to back. Not sure if you noticed, we also wrapped the bumpers. Bumpers are something we normally stay away from because of the contours and they are always the first place to show damage. Because of the design it required us to wrap the bumpers. What it also did is it help us determine what type of vinyl we’re going to use. The vehicle surface determines this more than anything else. Obviously we had an incredible design, so we used premium vinyl as it allows us to follow all the contours. It also allows us to attach it to very different surfaces as you can see here in on the bumper.
