how to create a vinyl wrap??

[jeff nelson sileighty]

well im just wondering what software you can use to create your own vinyl wrap?can you use photoshop?reason im asking is cause i have exactly what i want to do in mind and dont have the cash to pay someone to do it for me :rolleyes: thanks in advance for any help

[jeff nelson sileighty]

Bump...surely someone can give me some advice?

[damo86]

sher dont you need to buy vinyl and the machine to print it an all that?

cheaper pay someone

[MartyMoore]

I think what you mean is you want to design up your wrap. Yeah you use photoshop but that costs money and then knowing what your doing takes a while. If you want something designed up and willing to pay I can help you out. Pm me

[hunty_sideways]

You have to design it on illustrator or photoshop the main factors are that you use large MB images with very good quality and you allow for curves and grooves On the car, do not design it to the outline of the car always leave overlaps and don't pay cheap for it, any other info needed pm me

[johnbro]

you'll need to create a vector image which is made up of a series of points rather than a bitmap image.
So the image can be scaled to any size (for the car)

I have all the software photoshop and illustrator.
PM me, I may be able to help you out.

Moose what would a wrap set you back?

[hunty_sideways]

@stevo all depends on how much of the car, and material ya want cheap and cheerful or expensive and long lasting, gloss laminate or matt and the labour hours followed by the amount off ink in the wrap.
As I said before I'd never wrap my car and moose after ennis wrapping the front bumper again must off been torture ? Was looking at the rest and it's a top job lad.have you stripped it this year ?

[Moose]

Every job is different , but average wud be around 1300 for a full car, all depends on the car, design etc, materials are v expensive and there is also alot of labour involved,

Ya ive mine stripped, im building a new 180 for 2012, wen i get time i must put up my build thread,
