You see Sky and other vans, and buses, with full colour pictures all
over them (even across the bus windows). How do they do it? Is it
actual paint or some sort of transfer? I'm particularly intrigued
how they deal with ridges and valleys in around panels etc.

Its called 'wrapping' and its done with one very large vinyl sticker
for eash side of the vehicle


And where would one go, and how much would it cost to get a a more
modest version done? Not the whole van, just covering a panel on a
transit. Though if one could do substantially the whole of a side at
not-too-extortionate cost I'd be interested. It would need to be in
colour, from an original I'd supply.

My local signwriter does it, IIRC he mentioned a Trabsit sized van
being £1500 - £2000.

Does that include the van?

There was an episode of Wheeler Dealers on the other night where they
renovated an old VW van - sort of turned it into a camper. Rather than
respray it they spent £1000 on having it wrapped. My signwriter bloke
reckoned that was cheap.

Apparently some vans are now being designed to be easily wrapped - VW Caddy
being one.
