Repaints & Retrims 2016

[Tony]

Just saw 4445 heading to WA so I assume it going for a spray

Will be yes, that was the next one I asked BC to send in, the advert expired several months ago

who removes the adverts? I bet that job is a pain. it was bad enough trying to remove vinyls of coaches

u think they use something like a hot paint stripper  to take off the ads

Im thinking like route branding, garage staff apply/ remove them. I think if the vehicle is going to go into paint then they'll probably let WA deal with it then.

Nah it's not garage staff. Not sure if it's an external vehicle graphics company or not but there was one guy applying the branding on the Geminis at AG.

Thinking about it, I think it's an external company. I'm sure he had some vinyls advertising a company on the guys can and he wasn't in NXWM uniform.

All adverts, both normal and specialist ones are applied and removed by the advertising agency. If NX remove one like we will do with4445 we invoice them.

Route branding is applied by a separate outside company which is who the guy MW saw in AG is

Few if any adverts are painted on these days, I would have thought. Mostly vinyls/contravision that is stuck on. The specialist ad companies might include CBS Outdoor, Viacom or Clear Channel etc - Tony might know who the current company is.

Exterion Media does London, but I've seen a fair few ads for a Birmingham market? Perhaps it's them?

Just seen a picture 1643 in Crimson looks good, fair play to you Tony for asking the MD , if you don't ask you don't know.
