Default Custom Wrap for WabFab's Losi Grappler body

Thought I would post up some pics of a wrap I am working on for WabFab. He bought a couple Axials for his sons. I am wrapping the bodies with his company logo and some bright graphics.

Here is a link to the project on my website. I will have a lot more pictures there.

I will add the installed pics in a little while. I am about to print them in a few minutes.

No, I don't print on the adhesive side. I am not sure if anyone makes a conformable vinyl that you can print on the sticky side. When I say conformable I mean the vinyl will conform around the curves easily.

Once I print the vinyl it is laminated with a thick clear laminate to help protect the print. I will snap a couple pics as they go through the laminator.

Graphics look amazing, but it would have looked better if the background color was similar to the wabfab logo. The green is too much of a clash with the teal/gold.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

thanks man. yeah I have been around rc crawling since 04. I signed up here on the board back on o5 when Bender and I were building some tubers. I have not been able to spend as much time as I would like around the sport in the past. I am working to change that a little.

Yeah I had the hue changed on the bg color but the logo blended a little too much. I also left it the way it was because I am going to offer this as a kit without the wabfab logo in place. I will post up info on that soon.

Thanks for taking the time to read and post.

OK I added more pics of the wrap installed on my site. I will take some better pic tomorrow before I ship them. I need some better lighting in the shop.

LOL oh yeah.... Brian and his sons have been checking out my rc crawlers for a while. The las time he was over at the shop with his sons Nick (BTF here on the board) was there with a scale crawler. They were really liking it. The only down side as we all know RC crawling it addicting.

Naked chicks are no problem... I have done them a few times on 1:1 wraps. LOL That sounds kind of bad. Hope my wife does not read this.

PM me and let me know what you have in mind.

509, if I can scare up a runing vehicle out here in Baghdad for my shop to use as a work truck, I may be getting with you for some door decals...

Thanks for the props. let me know if you need anything. Hopefully cutting the wrap package to fit in a standard envelope was not an issue. For the price including free postage I didn't think you guys would mind.
