Okay. I’m back to it. Sorry. Um, and that’s my personal friend and you can see, and actually this, I don’t know if you can tell in a picture, but this is a matte wrap, so it doesn’t have a whole lot of glare on it. I mean, see the hood where it hasn’t been wrapped yet how glossy that is and then how mat the actual rap is. And that’s a, that’s a matte laminate that we use. Um, we put it on the print, we print out how the process works. Obviously we design, we use Photoshop and we use combination of Photoshop and CorelDRAW as our two programs that we use the most, um, to, to make your design. And then we send it to our printers Rhea, uh, rip program. Um, and then once it’s printed, um, we use a laminator and we laminated either in gloss or a matte finish. Um, and there are some other finishes that you can give, but those are the two most common gloss or matte.

And, uh, yeah, so we go and we cover that. Not only does that, um, you know, change the finish, you know, either gloss or matte, or sometimes you can sit and do satin as well. Um, but it gives it, uh, it gives it protection and protects the ink from being easily scratched, um, makes the install, uh, simpler and easier because, uh, it thickens up the material. So that way, uh, you can, uh, you know, it’s easier to hang on because without laminate, you peel that vinyl off, it’s so thin, it’s so easy to stretch, so hard to handle. Um, you really got to, uh, thicken it up by using that laminate, um, that, and, and, and without that laminate on there, the ink is very easy to scratch. Um, uh, it wouldn’t, it wouldn’t last for a long plus. It, it would make the, uh, the ink fades lot more over time.

The, uh, um, Lambert actually provides a bit of a UV protection, um, laminated you’re, you’re looking at five or six years on your colors, um, on laminated, you’re looking at two to three years, so it essentially doubles the alive of the colors. Um, and like, so I’ve got obviously a lot of color on this truck, black, blue, uh, orange, um, you have some grays there and those kinds of things, like I said, those will, those will definitely fade over time, but about five years is your here’s your top. Uh, and for a wrap, uh, after that, the material is harder to get off. Um, and you definitely don’t want to leave it on past that. And he started to get buffing tools and stuff like that to try to rub off the, uh, the material. And, um, otherwise if you can pull it in, if you can not wait till five years, you know, three, four years down the road, uh, just swap it out. You can usually use a hot day and go out there and start peeling and rip that thing off. So, um, and obviously it protects your paint underneath.
