Mark, I was wondering; other than the ease and comfort of being able to paint that in your shop, wouldn't it have been a more durable product to have eliminated the vinyl and painted right on the van?
Did that sound right? In other words . . . I'm thinking that, unless the owner needed the van that day, painting direct would eliminate the vinyl app step. I'm not a vinyl guy yet so I'm just guessing due to certain things I've heard, the vinyl would "break down", say over the course of 3 to 5 years, as opposed to using HOK urethanes direct (example) ???????????????
I'm learning a lot about the vinyls but I'm an old paint freak. I can still view paint that's sitting good as new on cars done over 30 years ago. I don't think I've heard that being stated on any vinyl.
The painting you did is supurb though . . .

thanks amy for the kind words. in answer to your questions, the bear was painted with 1-shot lettering enamels on 24"x48" unpunched enamel receptive vinyl from a projected image. (it took 2 pieces for each side and a small teddy on the back door)
the bear illustration was furnished by an ad agency. after roughing in shadows and shapes, the lights go back on, then i work from the original illustration.
