what are you using to apply the vinyl?

 

you can get 3m vinyl applicators which do a really good job

 

also sometimes doesnt hurt to put a fine mist of soapy water on the surface you are applying to first, so that you can make mistakes and work the air bubbles and wrinkles out. also means you can slide the vinyl around a little to get it into position

 

i used to do a fair bit of signage application on race cars and it takes a bit of practice but you will get the hang of it - there were plenty of times the race cars went out with wrinkles or stickers at slightly odd angles. at 200km/h no one could tell - but may be different on a ke :lolcry:

 

 

yeah i am great mates with a company who does the livery for a number of V8 teams (also South eastern side of town)... so i have been sourcing the vinyl through them. he also gave me an applicator.

 

been using the water + detergent, its a tough job, i should have got Series 9 vinyl.. the series 7 while looks soo glossy and thick, doesnt quite stretch enough.

looking good! this will be awesome when you chuck on the guard mirrors.

 

what kind of fender mirrors will you be running? kp61 style or more chrome like the ones on the te72 gt on the first page?

 

 

i just got them from ebay... they're black ABS plastic, bullet style lights... will look pretty good with the panda scheme i think.

oh Panda.....
