I did this solo on monday. I wanted to try it alone just to see how long it would take. It took 13 hours, with the worst part of it being the back doors. It is 3M Controltac printed on the Arizona 90 and is only intended to last a year(the lease will be up). I pulled the tail lights and emblems to make it easier, but the wide hinges on the Dodge are evil!  -

do you work with back ups of the print in case of problems or is the vinyl very forgiving and can be repositioned?
it looks great!

does the colour of the van ever effect the print?
did you have to send a huge file to get the quality in the print?

i'll squezze until every last bit of info comes!!LOL [Wink]

Thanks Guys,
Miles, I didn't have any extra, because this material is so easy to work with. If I did have a problem I can usually have a replacement piece in an hour or so. This Vinyl has a grey back so you could wrap a hot pink van and sot see through it. As far as file size the interpolation of the Arizona is great so a full size file @ 72-100 DPI is fine.

Really Nice especially for the first time out. I have not gotten the nerve to try one yet.

Very nice. I'm with Donald, I just haven't acquired the confidence (or skill) to try that. I'm afraid there would be a huge lump on that van containing Maw Maw the sign granny yelling help I've gotten stuck and I can't get out".
