using 3M primer, rivet brushes, Geek
Wrap squeegees and a Wrap Pro Roller
for the installation, as well as "a lot of
knife blades." When wrapping a bus,
Nukem said, "You get to know the
rivet roller, rivet brush and heat guns
very well."
Within the two-week assignment
schedule, Nukem and his three-man
shop turned in their homework. "The
school district worked the city to close
down a street in our town so the
public could come and see the bus,"
Nukem recalled. "... you could see the
excitement in the whole community
from the kids to the adults." Give that
shop an A+!
FOR THE NTH TIME
Then there are buses whose wraps
change so quickly and so often that
they're always like new. Such was
the case for Riot Hospitality Group's
Whiskey Row Bus, which the client
originally brought to Arizona Color
32
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
APRIL 2017
Wrap Professionals (Phoenix) years
ago on a referral. Riot Hospitality
clearly likes the work Arizona Color
has done. "This was about the ninth
time we wrapped this exact bus," Matt
Nisbett, designer for Arizona Color,
said. For this well-staffed, high-volume
shop, "Nothing much changes from
the design workflow on larger bus
designs other than typically having
much more flat space to work with,"
Nisbett said.
Riot Hospitality knew what they
wanted. "They had full vector versions
of their logos ready for me. They
just wanted them big," Nisbett said.
Because the client's brands are wellknown in the area, they wanted to
focus fully on all the names, forgoing
the usual contact information - just
a clean and simple dark design to
showcase the brands. "So I created
somewhat of a texture by tiling their
logos in black over a dark gray base
color for the backdrop to place the
full color logos on," Nisbett said. He
designed the wrap using Adobe
Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC.
Arizona Color then output Avery
Dennison MPI 1005 SC Supercast
Vinyl with their HP Designjet L260
printer. They used their Seal 62 Base
Laminator to apply Avery Dennison
DOL 1360 premium laminate on the
vinyl. Arizona Color's five-man installation team required fewer than
three full days, aided by Avery Dennison Blue and Red Felt squeegees.
As this was the ninth wrap for Riot
Hospitality within the last decade
or so, "Nothing out of the ordinary
happened," Nisbett said. The driver
picked up the bus for the client,
completing "a fairly simple in and
out job." So if form holds and the Riot
Hospitality is looking for a tenth wrap,
Arizona Color can expect to see this
very same bus parked in front of
its shop in a year or so, ready to make
an "old" bus new again.
