I like wraps on trailers a lot better than on vehicles. Especially when they are well done like this.

Hey! I can read it! It's concise, clean, attractive. I thought it was supposed to be a wrap? Where are the flames, diamond plate and all the special effects? You might start a new trend towards simplicity. I sure hope so. Love.....Jill

Pat that's very striking; it is legible and great colors. I like the half wrapped idea! Very balanced; I've not learned how to wrap as it takes a lot of strength to pull that material right?

Lou I don't know how to answer that as we haven't done any full wraps, and really don't want too.
Deb, it probably isn't really considered a wrap as it is a flat surface, so it was pretty easy other than all the screws..and those are a bigger pain that rivets.

Neil, we thought about that...as we did take them out where we did the cut vinyl...but thought with the photos...it would goofy with silver dots all over it.

I have always thought that partial wraps worked better than full wraps.

I've found that your eye don't see them Pat, and you don't have to worry about the Vinyl lifting there... Also... you can get away with the intermediate Air Release Vinyl and Laminate, a real cost savings.

I take out the screws too. Makes it very easy and much faster. #2 square driver does it.

Gotta go with what Jillbeans said on this one. I get really tired of having to spend an hour staring at a sign to figure out the message. This one you can read and then enjoy the art work. Very nice!
