All vehicle wraps are done dry now, there's nothing special about it. Thanks to control-tac! The trick is not pulling more paper than you need to so the vinyl lays straight. Junior installers can perfect this technique with no problems.

what design software do you use to wrap vehicles? Dose it come with car templates?
-
What material is that?
My shop uses crappy material. It would wrinkle so bad if we went as fast as you.

im a mediocre sign maker for a small company. We don't do vehicle wrapping but sometimes have to apply large amounts of vinyl, how did you/he get it lined up so well to start with?if it had been me it would have been at least 5mm off at the bottom!

Good video, pity the lower level signshite
are just jealous
-
well noticed.... i always start from the back.. And always dry...
-
Excellent.
Shouldn't you go from back to front on a vehicle though?

I'm a signwriter in Australia that does these large print applications all the time, and never use water on any. I use the same method as this video and never have any hassles. Great job Robert!
If you started at the back, why does your video show exactly the opposite?

The whole starting at the back, working forward came about when folk fitted vehicles WET. The overlapping vinyl panels often hadnt dried out after the application, so in transit, continual wind drag on the forward facing overlaps would come away.
But NOT when fitted DRY. If I am wrong, then that would mean every vinyl fitting on a vehicle with multiple layers would fail would it not? Also, what about train wraps that travel in both directions? IF fitted DRY it doesnt matter where you start!

Thanks for the comments guys...
Buck, It is "not" 3M controltac or EZ-Apply.
The vinyl used is an Oracal 5-7 year Digital.
I never apply using any applicaion fluids.
Always dry!
