Default Camo Wraps for Truck Body

Has anyone worked with camo graphics like this - www.camo4u.com - I am looking at doing a full vehicle wrap and was looking for any pointers on doing it yourself...

i would just pay the pro's, i mean they do it everyday, im sure its quality work condsidering some wrap companies print ads in sections and fit it together on the vehicle

idk where you are but there are many companies out here that do it

I have helped a frend who does them for a living. Wash the truck then wipe it down with a grease remover.Spray the part of the truck your working on with lots of soapy water. Have a heat gun, squgies, and an exacto knife close by. Squgie all of the air and water out the best you can then use the knife to remove any bubbles left. Just barley ***** it. use the heat to make the vinyl contour to hard spots. Be carfull with the heat gun vinyl melts easy. If you havent done any vinyl work before I would pay some one to do it. A wrap is hard to do.
