The marble striations in that color make it look like CAMO!   :rolly:

It'll probably look great in real life, though.  Post photos when complete.  :thumbsup:

LOL! Yes we paid for the photo's, each side of this thing was 900 megabytes,  The marble is really cool looking in person I will take lots of pics tomorrow for ya. I spent 2 hours prepping the sprinter first thing this morning debadging it, removing lic plate brackets, cleaning it from top to bottom with iso alcohol etc, didnt remove the mirrors. Spent 9 hours wrapping, so far ive got the front, rear & drivers side done, tomorrow is just the pass side, should take about 4 to 5 more hours & thats it.  I have a guy (Willy) that im training, he's probably spent 60 or 70 hours so far watching and learning, he does some of my trimming for me and helps with positioning panels like the hood & roof. I dont know exactly what the cost on this wrap is, its the super tall super long Sprinter, my guess would be around 3500 bucks. I dont do wrap training at other peoples shops but you should be able to find a 3M or Avery or Lowen course somewhere close to you, Some of the supply companies offer day long seminars as well.  :cheers:

Damn, Can't wait to see the finished product! I did a wall layout for a gas station drink and cooler wall section that ended up being right at 2gb.  Even the best machines start chugging when you get near the gig+ mark.  :thumbsup:

registration looks like a bunch of fun! :o

i know you have nothing to do with design Ben, only install so i will throw in my 2 cents on the design.....looks horrible IMHO. I know alot of customers want that real product feel. but this one just doesn't work for me. at least not from the proof. the colors chosen do in fact look like camo, as someone already mentioned. it ends up making all the I-stock photos just fade into the design and it has absolutely no "pop" at all. unfortunately, as i am finding out more and more, if the customer has an idea in their head, there just ain't no stopping them. so in the end, i hope it's what they wanted, because that job is not cheap. i would think that the $3500 you threw out there is on the low side, and maybe by quite a bit. can't wait to see the pics of the actual finished product. maybe it'll look a little better than i am expecting, especially from the professional install treatment it's receiving ;)
not enough time on my hands...

from what I understand this customer was pretty specific about his wants, we do our best to steer them in the right direction whenever possible. Here are the pics, it looks kinda like gator skin LOL!  :cheers:
