After consideration as to how the car should look, the team opted for a combination of full colour digital print material – 3M IJ380, complete with clear laminate, and Anthracite carbon fibre grey, all supplied by William Smith. Even the alloy wheels were wrapped to give maximum effect. The full colour artwork was purchased and downloaded from American specialist website www.auroragraphics.net, and the design was matched to suite the car’s original colour of Candy Pearl Green.
The staff has done an outstanding job in manufacturing and application of the graphics to the vehicle, as this car has very challenging curves and a distinctive shape. We are more than happy with how this has turned out and I have to say the material is holding up extremely well considering what it’s put through.”
“The Warrior Indy is a full space framed roll caged car with aluminium and fibreglass panels, not like any regular car that would be wrapped in these materials. 3M’s IJ380 and the fully conformable materials supplied by William Smith are more than suitable for fitting and application to all these very complex shapes,”
3M™ IJ380, specifically designed for applications such as vehicle graphics, with deep recessed and corrugated surfaces. IJ380 has been developed for perfect 3D conformity, and stays in position even in the most difficult application areas with no need for cutting to relieve stress. This not only enables valuable time savings to be made, but also eliminates many of the risks involved in full vehicle wraps. In addition, Controltac Adhesive makes IJ380 easy to reposition, enabling faster and easier application for large format graphics, with improved finish, resulting in time savings, faster turnaround and reduced wastage.
