Glass Doctor Van Wrap

Friday, August 27th, 2010

dsc_1111Mobile glass repair is a fast paced business often times putting the service technician on location with the customer.  With the many hours spent on location and on the road it makes perfect sense to wrap the service vans for added exposure.  Advertising is key with any business.  If potential customers have never heard of you it is safe to bet they will never call you.  Check out the Glass Doctor fleet van wrap.  Be sure to post a comment below.

If you are interested in getting fleet graphics for your company be sure to contact 509 Media for a free quote.

Isuzu Box Truck Wrap for Hornsby Tire

Friday, May 28th, 2010

dsc_0501Vehicle wraps are a great way to advertise your business and more importantly establish your brand.  If you have fleet vehicles on the road why not make use of the adverting space to promote your goods or services.  Considering the number of advertising impressions a vehicle wrap gets over the life of the wrap the cost is way more affordable than traditional means of advertising.  The graphic design elements of a vehicle wrap can incorporate many different things, but should remain simple enough to sell your brand and products.  Making an impact on a potential customer with a positive professional message increases the chance they will recall your name at a later time. If a customer is unable to recall your name they will have a difficult time finding you.

Hornsby Tire Distributors sells wholesale to Dothan, AL and surrounding area tire stores.  The company has a new set of owners who understand the value of utilizing the space on their fleet vehicles.  Hornsby Tire may not sell to the direct consumer but a vehicle wrap in their case can help make tire store owners aware they are in the area.  Rather than having a white truck backing up to their customer’s door day after day a wrapped truck will be backing up to the door with their name and service boldly stated.  I can not stress enough how important it is for any company to keep their brand in front of people and to build relationships.  If your company offers a quality product with your name attached it increases recall when that person needs your goods or services.

The vehicle wrap on the Isuzu Box Truck was designed using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.  The tires used as the background images was created from a single tire image from Yokohama Tire.  The image was repeated to cover the side of the vehicle wrap.  The vinyl used on this project was 3M CV3 with a luster finish over laminate.  The wrap was printed on our 64 inch Mutoh printer.  Each side of the Isuzu Box truck consists of four large panels that were installed kind of like wall paper.  Each panel has a predetermined overlap so the image can easily be aligned during the wrap install.  The rear roll up door has two vertical panels.

509 Media is in the business of designing vehicle wraps, printing, and installing if needed.  If you are not close to our location we can design and print a wrap to ship to you.  If you do not want to install the wrap we can arrange for someone in your area to install the graphics.  It is our goal to help you build your business through solid marketing tools.  If you have questions be sure to ask.  We are here to serve.

Grayway Trucking Vinyl Lettering and Partial Trailer Wrap

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

dsc_9353Grayway Trucking in Chipley, Florida asked if we could do a partial wrap to cover an area on their trailer where a logo was removed.  The trailer was purchased from another company and needed the letters removed and replaced to represent Grayway Trucking.  Here at 509 Media we recommended to do a large graphic design to cover the area where the old lettering was.  The large print on the trailer measures 3 feet tall by 15 feet long.  We also printed and contour cut the Grayway Trucking logo design for the doors of the tractor and the rear door of the trailer.

The DOT and MC numbers were cut from matte finish black and placed on the cab of the tractor.  DOT law states that the numbers have to be 2 inches tall and must be readable from 50 feet away while the vehicle is stationary.  509 Media cuts DOT and MC numbers all the time.  If you need vinyl DOT numbers for your truck feel free to contact 509 Media for a quote.

Brent’s BTF Fusion Chassis Wrap

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

buggywrap010Brent was a good customer of mine back in my Blue Torch Fab days.  When he needed a wrap for his BTF Fusion Chassis he PM’ed me over on Pirate 4×4 for details.  After a couple quick pm’s we settled on a price and the 509 Media machine was set into motion.  Although we were in the middle of moving the shop to a new location we were able to get it done and delivered on time.

The BTF Fusion Chassis wrap was printed on 3m CV3 and laminated to help protect the inks.  The wrap design has some hundred dollar bills spread throughout the design to show it is his money pit.  Rock crawling can be very fun and addicting.  For those who care about their off-road vehicles and how it looks a wrap might be the set up you need.

Give us a call if you would like a quote.  We can wrap offroad vehicles, race trailers, fleet vehicles, walls, mailboxes, and more.

Wrapped the Restroom Door in the Shop

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

dsc_9201Jeremy chopped up a wrap for the bathroom door last night. Pretty funny design.  It actually has some text carved in the design for those who want to read it.  The door wrap was printed on a cheaper vinyl like we print stickers on.  The print was then laminated to protect the inks from cleaning supplies.  After all it is the bathroom door.  Now we need some spare time to wrap more around the new shop.

Full Truck Wraps for Servpro

Friday, February 26th, 2010

servpro_wrap

509 Media and crew spent the weekend banging out two full vehicle wraps for Servpro.  The install process took all weekend but we got them done on time.  The rear bumpers and tail lights on both trucks were removed to allow better access for the install on the rear corners.  We also removed the side mirrors, and door handles for a cleaner install.  After the wrap was installed the lights, bumper, and door handles were reinstalled on the trucks.

The graphics were printed on 3M CV3 and laminated.  After the wraps were installed reflective vinyl featuring the Servpro company logo was placed on the doors, hood, and tailgate. Wrapping fleet vehicles like the Servpro trucks can have long term benefits to the company’s bottom line.  When the business owner decides to sell the truck the wrap can be removed without decreasing resell value of the truck.  Not to mention a fully wrapped truck help preserve company image effectively advertising the company.

If you would like to talk to 509 Media about wrapping your company vehicles feel free to CONTACT us anytime.

iPhone Skins for Droopy and Kim Sears of Rock Out Racing

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

pinkrockout_iphoneIf you have been anywhere around rock racing over the past few years the names Droopy (Nathaniel) and Kim Sears will ring a bell.  Droopy and Kim are a husband and wife team competing in professional rock racing. Their team name is Rock Out Racing.  It is very cool to see female drivers getting it on the course.  Be sure to look out for the Droopy and Kim Sears in featured articles on the net and printed publications.

I should mention the iPhone skin as the skin is the reason for making this post.  Droopy sent a message to me a few days ago asking for some iPhone skins to help promote their race team brand.  He wanted to a graphic design for his wife with pink elements added.  Rather than changing the color of the logo to pink I dropped in a pink pattern in the back ground and added a few effects which resulted in what you see.  If you would like to discuss branding opportunities with 509 Media be sure to contact us.  We can build custom graphic designs to suit the need of your race team or company.

For more information on Rock Out Racing and rock racing be sure to visit their website.  You will find pictures from events such as King Of The Hammers, XRRA, and more.  Tell them 509 Media sent you.

Toyota FJ40 Rock Crawler Vehicle Wrap

Monday, November 30th, 2009

dsc_2839Over the years I have built a lot of rock crawlers, broke a lot of parts, and spent way too much money chasing a passion.  I am not alone, many others join me everyday to dream, customize, and test their rock crawlers to the max.  A good friend of mine Nick Justice is no different.  He and another friend of ours chopped this Toyota FJ40 up and created their version of a rock crawler. They built a 4 link suspension in the rear and added coil over shocks.  In my opinion the moved the rear axle way too far back, but it is Nick’s FJ40 not mine.  Nick has since sold the rock crawler and started building rc crawlers. Nick laughs as he tells people rc rock crawlers are a lot cheaper.

On to the wrap.  After completing the fabrication work Nick loaded the FJ40 up and hauled it dsc_2821to the little dot at the bottom of the map called Dothan, AL to add some color and attitude.  He wanted skulls, fire, and naked chicks in the wrap.  How could I turn down that request.  The naked chicks were wrapped around some 3D skulls that I had drawn up for the wrap.  Yes, they were hidden.  You had to know where to look and what to look for to locate them.  I didn’t want the wrap to offend people.

This wrap was completed about 4 years ago.  Nick wanted me to post up pics of the wrap because he lost all of the pics of the FJ40 rock crawler after selling it.  So Nick this post is for you.
