Gearhead Graphics Latest Project

Full Car (rally Car) Wrap with cracked mud as the pattern.

3 photos, a few more sponsors were added after these pictures.

I have a few Semi's I will be doing like this soon.. Yay.


This car is currently at Snowdrift. Bob Olson is the driver and C Ketelsen is the Co Driver.

 

that came out awesome dave! sweet work - good job as always

I'm really excited to get the new vinyl going on my rally car!

 

Thanks, Oh and ANYTHING CAN be wrapped like this, Bikes, Sleds, ATV's, Mail Boxes, Trucks, Trailers, Boats, .... ANYTHING.


ALSO This will all be in the Vendors sections but we now offer FATHEAD Style Wall Graphics. I finally got the special wall Vinyl In stock.

 

Looks sweet.

 

Aaaaany-ting for you idget, lol

 

might have to use a Drs scalpel to make it fit idgets'

 

Nice! I want to bring my Rhino down this spring for a full wrap.

 

i kinda want to wrap my legacy, for fun.


looks great Dave, you always do excellent work.

 

Is that a 3M vinyl or another brand?

 

Very comprable to the 3M stuff, same technology.

 

Rich most definately! We can do anything on that thing. and ideas you would want?

tstrboy, ROFL!

 

Looks nice. What is the recommended lifespan of these?

 

I would say, 5 years max, (maybe seven?)
depending if it was laminated or not.

 

Looks even better in person. Lucky me!!! Awsome work as usual! Thanks for showing around.

 

Thanks Guys.

Lifespan, like Phill said 5-7 years. That wrap job wasnt laminated it but I did spray it with a UV clear coating. Normal everyday cars Would be laminated. They just opted not to have it done on the rally car.

 

I have to ask, how much would it cost for a whole car? And how long does it hold up/not fade?

 

Subtle.


Beats waxing. :laugh:

 

that is most excellent.

 

Looks good!




I see Zawadas house....

 

nice job! that looks great, although the cracked mud isnt my thing.

 

i've always wanted to know what happens when you take it off?

 

looks even better on stage

 

Very nice Dave

 

the vinyl will leave an acrylic adhesive, which can be removed.
(the longer the vinyl is on, the harder it is to remove.)

the wrap does look great. good work!

 

Wow Im glad its still in one piece so far
Carl Thanks for posting that, i have to look for more pics on stage.

Phill thanks for the help I appreciate it, Im not always on here.

As for price on a FULL Wrap typical prices range between $2000 and $3000 depending on where you go. A lot of people say "wow that much?" YES that much. After Material, Ink, Design Time, and all the labor of installing it adds up.

Goalie can back me up on this, I talked to a Porsche race car guy (Goalie's Boss) and he said his sponsors paid for his wrap on his 996? and it was $9000, Yes $9000.

This DOES protect your paint, Can be removed (like phill said there may be a little cleanup once removing depending on how long its been on the car), Easy to fix panels that gat damaged, and unlike paint only takes one day to be installed and completed.

Vehicles will vary on price. Obvioulsy! A car will be different price than a pickup, a trailer, a sled, a bike or a semi. You get it I hope.

Another look on it people have is I want it but I dont have the money. I will be contacting a financial company to help people and business's out with the money issue. You will be able to get a small loan for this amount. They pay me full amount once install is completed, and you pay them monthly payments making it easier on everyone.

I will be posting more once I get more projects like this done.

Thanks for the good input guys and the help.

Dave

 

Great shot there, looks almost as insane as seeing BIGFOOT stepping out from the woods. Does that sign in the back say "Busted!" LOL

 

It probably says "POSTED" meaning no hunting or trespassing.

 

Wow. I'm impressed Dave. I didn't realize the amount of work that goes into a full wrap. Not only that, but your design, detail and coloring is top notch. Looks awesome! Great job!

 

Thanks for the Good feedback guys!! I do appreciate it! New wrap pictures coming soon

 

my uncle told me that you wrapped the rs and i have yet to see it in person. But from the pics it looks sweet. i cant wait to go out there and see it. Great job Dave. a lot better then what it looked like when it was white and orange

 

i think itd be cool to have my car trailer wrapped, but i change my mind too much on graphics anywho, they look awesome

 

Ugh. Car's not so pretty anymore.

In case the pic doesn't show:

Awe crap!

 

Gotta say, the vinyl appears to have held up remarkably.

 

when you get a chance can you get me a price to do my rhino, I want it blue, black and white camo.

 

yea was talking to dave on the phone today - bummer about the car

 

That'll buff right out... little spit, elbow grease, JB Weld...
it'll be back on the trails in no time.

 

oops.

 

Yeah Car is toast! They rolled it twice and then did an endo into an area that had just been logged. So Tree stumps did a job on the car. Driver and co driver were both ok with out a scratch. +1 for roll cages!!

It was interesting to watch sweep roll the car back on the wheels and winch it out. Supprisingly the wrap held up superbly!! Pretty good stuff.

Ill post up close pictures on here soon.

New car will be up and running in 2 weeks!!! Lots of overtime getting it done for neamaji (spelling?) and then off again to Portland.
Dave

 

another nemadji entry? yes!!

oh yea, one of barrett's friends has a better pic sequence then what i emailed you. once he gets it online barrett will send me a link

 

+1 for great wrap job, design look amazing even upside down. :S

 

one thing i have learned about bob olson is that he never has a shortage of race cars.

 

That sucks, that was a cool looking car.
