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.

That sounds horrendously expensive, considering I was recently quoted £269
for fairly comprehensive colour signwriting of Renault Master LWB High roof
van from my jpeg images.
