Buyer Beware of 4X4 Graphics.com

[Phil_R]

Hi Phil,

When I was managing Ford Off Road Racing, before the race we had a Contingency Row lined with vendors, Including Competition Graphics....CG was tops. Right there in the parking lot they could do wonders with their equipment and array of vinyl colors. Can do and Cheap...a real value and as such this is a CRAP company out of Mom's basement as you stated.

Back Story,

Learning on how to put graphics on my SCCA race trucks was an adventure until Livernios and I learned how to do it easily. The worst we encounter was the 5' long General Tire decal as the Saleen Team was sponsored by General Tire. The trick we learned was a spray bottle of soap and water with a squeegeet to displace the soapy water. Live and learn...

Here is a pix of the lower cab with these huge decals....Detroit Grand Prix... Indy Car driver Pete Halsmer who had become a friend of mine.

Best,
Phil

Thanks Phil. Yes, the wet method as you mentioned I have heard a lot of good things about. I have put on decals on vehicles, but always in the dry fashion. Mistakes and air bubbles were no fun for sure. The ranger above looks great! And CG sounds like a professional company. Thanks for the info!!!

All my graphics for most part are custom made using knifeless tape so the design goes on first then a solid sheet of vinyl. Pull the tape in proper order and viola

If you haven't yet, give TVD Vinyl a shot. Those are some good guys there.

+1 on TVD! I've used them for the grille, glovebox and tailgate letters.

Another plus for TVD - while you are there you can get the "official" Ranger 5G logo:

Remember this all depends on the price. lol I might be even a worse influence on you than you think. If I get it the dealer is back in MA and we'll most likely be driving through (or close enough) to TN. I might just have to swing by and let you see (and drive) it in person. Annies good friend lives in Dandridge (I know we've talked about this before) and she wants to see her and also see TN. You might need more than a new keyboard then. ?

The door is always open and if you are close, you better stop by for a visit!!! And Sherry will kill me if I buy another vehicle! Actually, I love the Ranger Tremor and I just washed it and put in a new air filter, so I might be ok with seeing your Ranger Raptor! Maybe not too...LOL!!! Where don I sign for the new payment booklet...

Dave, it looks like there’s going to be a couple of us here in TN that you’ll have to show your Raptor to on your way back to AZ. ?

Seeing as I live the closest to Dandridge I expect to be first…??

You got it Terry! Hopefully this all works out and it would be fun for all of us to meet up in TN. ?

Most computer monitors are bad at reproducing color including yours unless you went out of your way to buy one that is accurate or calibrated. Have you ever seen turquoise stones in person? They can be very green.

You will have to make a swing up thru the Northwest as well, Dave.... ?

Heck yeah! If I get it I'll never want to get out of it. lol By the time I get back home I'll have more miles on it than my 5G. ?

Nope-Nope-Nope...... That's it, we are putting our place up for sale and are moving to Dandridge so I can see it first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dandridge is definitely a beautiful place, but damn it’s expensive to live there.

I can recommend Road Trip Radio on Sirius XM for such a long drive. Also, HairNation is a great choice.

If that is the case, then why is the color on their chart turquoise blue and the letters green? I looked at 3 different monitors and an Ipad and they all look the same to both my wife and I. I will never buy anything again 4X4 Graphics. In fact, I sent the letters back and now they are refusing to provide me a refund, even though they have the letters in hand. However please deal with them if you want to and I hope you have better luck with their lousy customer service than I did...
