Any advise on installing 16' x 8' (in 4 sections) on a truck? YES there are lots of rivits. The material is control tack. Should I transfer tape? Any advise would be helpful
THanks!!!
P.S. Any one install on interior wall also?

Hi Lex,

It sounds like you have a job you could potentially ruin because of lack of experience.

Do you have to pay for the graphic should you screw it up? Even if you lose 1 section, you might have to buy an entire set!

The problem is that it really takes some experience and some hands on learning. You probably should get some one to help you and pay them. Someone who has experience.

There are videos available on installation techniques, magazine articles, a wealth of information....but until you just get in there and learn, experience is the better teacher.

Hiya Lex,
Gotta thank Mark Matyjakowski for this link.
He sums up your dilema quite well with this story. http://members.aol.com/slamgrafyx/home/rivetron.html
The only thing that I will add is that you always start at the rear of the truck & work your way foward. This way the overlap of the graphics won't loosen while driving.
Havin fun,
Checkers
P.S. Be polite & add your signature file to your posts. Thank you
