Just completed this bus last week.
This is a copy chagne of the bus I posted previously. We've changed it 3 times in the last 4 months. This time it's a long term application, 3 months till the next change. That's Government departments for you!!!

Good for business though.

Awesome work man. I have a few questions though.

1. How long did it take to complete this job and how many people?

2. How much did you charge for it?

Great job.... how long did it take to do the whole job?

buscho6 · 08-23-2005, 08:02 PM

We Had the bus for a week.

1 guy stripping old stuff and spraying orange 2 of us applying prints and perf window film

Had to totally strip the other design off, prime and topcoat panels. We sprayed the orange in 2pak, as the client was adamant on the orange colour and it was quicker to mask and spray than try and match colour (maybe rolands new inks will allow a cleaner orange).

They wanted it as cheap as possible due to the length of time between change over. I explained that we don't do cheap and nasty work but will do it for best we can. It worked out to be around $10k

Aussie Dollars. A week is probably a bit misleading as we have streamlined the process over the years. Maybe more like 2 weeks for someone with less experience
