hi spacies,
can you explain in a Little more detail how you did the "Graffiti Guard" laminate?
That is exactly the look I'm going for on my cab
Is this the product?
did you print it then apply the film over the print or did you apply the print to the cp first,
what did you print the gradation on?
any info would be very much appreciated,
thanks,
Bender

You know, I saw the walls of an elevator I rode in this morning covered in this stuff. I thought it was interesting how it was a giant sticker, but now I know. It's gotta be GBC™ brand Arctic® Graffiti :P. Pricey stuff though.
:dizzy:

Oh mate, its in a bad way at the moment. I haven't touched it yet. There is a big chunk gone on the front edge (through t-molding and into the wood), the CP is worn to the metal and its dusty and dirty. I haven't even turned it on! Last time it was powered up was 15 years ago.
I will do a resto soon though.

Yeah that is the stuff. Pretty thick and very tough.
The product was applied to the print 1st. It was done using the wet method which is 1 drop of dish washing detergent in a spray bottle filled with water. Soak both the digi print and the sticky side of the laminate. Stick them together and work the water out, starting from the centre heading towards the edges. Then it was applied to the CP. :)
To get a small bit for a CP, call in and talk to your local sign writer.

Yeah it is used in areas that get tagged a bit. You can wash it done with chemicals to remove spray paint and marker pens. Its a very resilient product. Its not cheap if you buy a roll but a small bit will only be about $10.

Hi Spacies,
Thanks so much for the info,
just one more question what type of print were you able to spray water on and not have it ruined?
