They look real nice! Mine are not correctly sized and would take a bit more work to complete so I will abandon mine if you are willing to supply them. I tried to put my test one on with app. tape and although it's slightly domed it went on o.k. Are you are using paper app. tape and cannot see through it enough to overlay it exactly?

gers · 17th March 2008, 13:18

Yeah Conrad, you cant use paper App tape because you cant see through it, and I also have Clear tape which was easier to use but because the vinyl is an "EXACT" size you only get 1 go at it, and if its not right your buggered.. The only way to do this properely is to apply Freehand using lots of water so you can move it around, but it is tricky..

MakTheo · 17th March 2008, 16:45

So Gers, how can I get a set of this? is it available?

gers · 17th March 2008, 19:29

If there was enough people wanting these graphics I could start making them next week, (as Im on a break at the momment

), plus I would need to get hold of some of this Deep Red Viny, so I would need to know how much to buy depending on how many sets I would have to make..I would need to charge £5 per set of 4, which would include postage,if thats sounds OK.. but as I said before they are quite tricky to apply, the H is easy enough its just the line around it thats a bit fiddly

......

Put me down for some gers. Do you offer a discount for a County Mayo girl (Er Indoors). Only kidding.
I suppose in an ideal world, it would be nice for the top layer tape to be clear, so we could see what we are doing.

... Hey Jack, Mayos not too far away, if she has a good looking sister you can put me in touch with ,you can have them "half price"

...... Even when using clear tape its still quite tricky as if its not spot on first time your buggered.. the best way i found is to pick them from the backing paper using a craft knife or thin blade and using plenty of water with a small drop of washing up liquid in it, and float them in to position and move them about to get them spot on, its just a bit fiddley but its the best way to get a good result...

Good to see that you are finally getting the stickers, much better than paying a fortune for centre caps.

Yes.. It was nice idea to use stickers to caps to look like Type R 's..

Jack The Lad. · 17th March 2008, 20:28

gers.
Don't think you would take to her sisters, they can be a bit scary, even though good looking.
Point taken on your "how to". Had no idea that self adhesive and water mixed.

and I diddnt want to step on his toes, but if anyone wants a set I would be happy to help.. Also they are not the easiest thing to apply as you cannot use the Application Tape with them ... Conrad will know what I mean...

Brilliant.
You or Conrad
Put me down fo a couple of sets

Yeah that was my first reaction when I first got into vinyl graphics..WATER NO WAY..

, but it really is the way to get the best results on applying any graphic to any surface,the water makes it easier to position and also reduces the chance of getting air bubbles trapped under the graphic...

gers · 18th March 2008, 17:36

I forgot to post some pics with the caps on the car....So here they are.(darker red).

MakTheo · 18th March 2008, 17:42

Very nice result.. It looks really good!
Will you send me 2 sets?

Jack The Lad. · 18th March 2008, 17:55

Excellent, 2 sets please.

gers · 18th March 2008, 23:14

I will try and have these done for middle of next week, I will post to let you know when they are ready, and you can P.M. me with your details.

MakTheo · 19th March 2008, 17:55
