Happy news! My woodgrain arrived.

[Fast Eddie B]

I ended up getting it from the stripeman in Jacksonville.

All in all, I'm impressed. The color looks good. The grain is sharp looking not fuzzy. I hung two big pieces to see if the patterning is obvious. At 20' feet you don't see any repeat in the pattern. That is good.

I'll get a number for an installer tomorrow and get it scheduled.

Nice, looking forward to seeing your results. I already have a guy to install wood grain and glad to hear about the quality of your wood grain.

Now I just need a wagon to install it on.

I was looking though that guys site a month ago, is yours the Colonial Walnut?

 

[Fast Eddie B]

Yeah. I looked at a lot of other versions elsewhere. In business I buy a lot of vehicle wraps every year and have for a long time. My people couldn't find or reproduce anything like he had. When I asked how he got it, he said he shot hi res pics of originals and reproduced on 3m Mylar. Case closed. Can't compete with that. The Issue for me was quality of the imagery and if controltac is the right stuff.

When I got it, the photography is very well done and hi res. Sharp. Well done. The Other issue is 3m controltac not real dinoc so there may be fit issues with the trim (controltac is thicker) and the laserjet inks won't stand up to the decades of abuse of dinoc will, but it's not an all weather daily driver so who cares.

We use Fuji inks and pretty sophisticated printers. I doubt he has them. Most don't. But the artwork is great and the film is great. And the price was good considering alternatives.

 

[Fast Eddie B]

Done. Looks good. Can't wait to get it buffed out and the trim back on.

Nice work Eddie!! Keep us updated as you go.

 

[Mr C]

Lordy, I love Formal wagons. I could stare at that thing for hours...

Getting it together. Slowly. Rear tail lights are a pile of work to detail.

Does anyone know if the letters for the tailgate should have the reveal on the mounting side of the letter painted black? Looks like it should but all worn off.

Man that looks great. I've done some vinyl graphics. I wouldn't want to hang anything that big though.

Yes...should be black around letters. Never lasts long though. Mine has mostly rubbed off again.
