want to hear that one of our decals has come loose on a truck traveling down the highway. It only takes a few seconds more to get the surfaces squeaky clean. A special “radius” version decal was created for the parabolic disk on each trailer. I was pleasantly surprised when the parabolic decals adhered to the surface of the satellite dishes. The bases for the decals were cut from Oracal vinyl with air release. I use this material extensively on vehicles (mainly for the adhesion and the bubble-free appearance on the surfaces when it’s applied). I measured the other flat surfaces on the trailers and created custom-fit decals to identify and promote the company while it’s parked in various locations around the country. In addition to these decals, several sets of magnetic signs were made for use on various truck doors and other metal surfaces. In a few short hours, the project was completed to my client’s satisfaction. Best of all, the trailers and satellite dishes have that “factory” look, which I always strive to achieve with these types of projects.
