Workshop
All vehicle wrapping will be done in perfect conditions to ensure the best job is done. A clean environment is essential and we have measures in place to create and maintain a clean and minimal dust atmosphere within the workshop. The room temperature is also vital and will be kept between 17 - 24°C to maximise efficiency and guarantee a strong bond is created allowing the wrap to last its full potential. Lighting is also of key importance and therefore we have a well lit workshop.
There are three main phases in the JD Graphics wrapping process; design, production and installation. Design will usually take the longest of these processes as it is imperative to create the perfect design before moving forward. The printing of the design is then started, any printed vinyls must be left 48 hours to outgas any solvents before application. All digitally printed vinyls are then laminated for protection.The final process is installation;this varies depending on the size of your vehicle.
3 - 5 day installation process
-
The vehicle will be fully cleaned using water and car shampoo as well as tar remover in needed.
-
All obstacles will be removed from the vehicle (i.e. badges, indicators, number plates, headlights etc.).
-
The vehicle is cleaned again with isopropanol or mentholated spirit and a specialist vehicle wrap primer cleaner. (this helps the glue form a stronger bond).
-
The wrap is then carefully fitted by our qualified professionals.
-
Once the wrap is fitted it is quality checked to make sure it meets the JD Graphics standard.
