Full vinyl wrap of the Škoda Enyaq iV used as an official vehicle of the Tour de France. The work covered sides, tailgate, bonnet and roof, combining the brand identity with the event graphics. File preparation, cutting, printing and application in our own workshop, with the vehicle handed over ready to drive.
The challenge
An official race vehicle is seen in motion, at distance and on television, and has to read the same from any angle. The Enyaq iV body has heavily curved surfaces and mouldings that break the continuity of the graphics, and the wrap could not leave marks when removed.
Our solution
We worked in cast vinyl over a template of the bodywork, so the graphics run on without jumps as they cross from one panel to the next. After surface preparation, application was done bay by bay, heat-forming over swages, mouldings and trims so the vinyl beds down with no tension to lift it later. Logos and smaller text were resolved in plotter-cut vinyl. The finish includes working the joints, sealing the edges and checking the shut lines at doors and tailgate.
Materials used
- Conformable cast vinyl for the bodywork
- Cut vinyl for logos and smaller text
- Surface pre-treatment before application
- Heat-forming over swages and mouldings
- Edge sealing and finishing at doors and tailgate
Results
- Continuous graphics across panels, with no jumps at the joints
- Brand and event identity legible at distance
- Vinyl bedded over mouldings with no lifting or bubbles
- An even finish across sides, bonnet and roof
- A reversible wrap, with clean removal at the end of its use
