Right before heading off to LA 2 weeks ago I wrapped up an extra special car for artist Pim Smit.  Pim bought a Volvo 780 Bertone which he then created a design for.  I then wrapped it up, leaving a strip of white on the back for his signature.  I have wanted to work with an artist for years now so it was a great opportunity for me.  There is something special about putting good artwork on a vehicle.  I hope to do more of these in the future.  Thanks to Pim for the opportunity, Knibbe Lettering for printing it up and for the use of their space for the install and Paul Roba from Avery for supplying the Avery Supercast and a sample of their new overlam that will be coming out in October.  The overlam is something else.

Avery gave me 25 yards of their new supercast film to try out because it will be the film I will use in my advanced hands-on workshops for Mutoh and Avery this year.  Avery's new supercast film exceeded all my expectations.  On many areas that I normally use a little bit of heat the film simply conformed perfectly to the area with minimal tension.  The best way to explain how the film felt during the application was that it was like driving a super luxury car.  It did everything I have always wanted a film to do with the greatest of ease.  A truly extraordinary film.  Also, the film printed very well - the colors clean and sharp.  I would like to thank Knibbe Lettering (www.knibbe.nl) for printing the wrap.  At Avery, Molly Waters and Hans Bruins did a great job in coordinating the delivery of the supercast film and lamination.  My wife and daughter love leopard print so they are very happy to have it on our car.  Anything for my ladies.
