New Roof Graphics!

First shameful plugs... I need to thank Greg at Cooper Flags (http://www.cooperflags.com) for putting together this custom image for me... I'm VERY happy And for those of you living in the SF Bay Area I highly recommend Decal Applicators, LLC,
1040 Serpentine Lane, Suite 210, Pleasanton, CA 94566, 925-426-1755: they are VERY nice people and did a fantastic job

Gues I'll have to change my sig now....

Nice! Can I ask what the installers charged you? I'm not far from them.

Hey bobdobbs,

thay charged $150 for the install. The install took just under two hours. The price seemed a little steep, but when I saw the results: no bubbles, no wrinkles, no blemishes, just an ultra clean install... I had to conclude that I got my moneys worth. I mean, the graphic by its self wasn't cheap. I could, probably, installed it my self, but I didn't have the time or the tools or any experience. You could prolly find someone to do it for less money, but I'm not sure they could achieve the same result. IMHO

Cheers

Jonathan

Looks great, but I would have faced the graphic in the opposite direction.

To me, the graphic indicates a standard white roof being peeled-away by the speed of the wind to reveal a checkerboard one. Kind of a "cute car reveals is competitive heritage" concept. Thus, the orientation of the graphic.

You're right Koopah. It all depends in how you look at it.

I was thinking of M.C.E.'s Metamorphosis III variation of the checkerboard. Sorry, don't have scanner to show you.
