Default F1 preparation and painting/vinyl WTF!!!

http://www.hondaracingf1.com/hiband/

Check out the "archive" section and look at 'new vinyl for japanese gp' and the 'stripping and preparing'

The vinyl work really got me. Over six hours to apply and could be slung in the barrier in a seconds blink.... No wonder those mechanics look so pissed when the drivers bin it!

Maybe they should spend more time making thier cars faster and spend less time messing around with poxy graphics,besides all those graphics are wasted at the back end of the field!!

Thats alot of work

I work for a company where i get to design and also fit graphics to vans/cars just like that its hard work but the vinyl is very good its a non cast vinyl, that means it has not got a memory so it can stretch all over the place with a little heat. mined you i wouldnt mined working in that workshop you could eat ya dinner off the floor.
also iv work for honda on the london motor show last year done all the graphics/ banners for them great company to do work for they are very eco friendly too as they only used subcontractors that recycle there waste.

Interesting that it will stretch that far.

Is this the same technology that the Sky wagons use to cover there vans?

Click on the TV logo on the lower right, the viewer starts with stripping and prepping cars, this is worth a watch.

Then click on archive on the right and you can see the vinyl link.

Honda's earth car...... and i'm sure the CO2 emissions on it are really low, i bet Jensen and Rubens get shafted with a big company car tax bill

What a fucking crap car that was this year, back to the drawing board i hope
