Forrest 35 Report post Posted May 23, 2010 ^ Nah decided the sides are too intricate to get right. Atleast with the front there are a few easy landmarks to base angles off e.g. tow hooks, the door panels and guards don't have as many, so will leave the thin double stripe for now.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 I never updated this...had a few edges pull off where I didn't clean the paintwork properly in combination with the flooding + hard rain we had down here so I pulled them off. They did look good for the time they were on the car though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe washing the car right before with water wasn't the best idea? =/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 I assume you dried the car off throughly and did not install these in the rain, and left the car for a few hours before getting them wet? in my experience with decals you have to make sure water does not touch them or they come off by the end of the week. havent applied to paint before, but to glass thats definately the case. Are you going to do them again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 ^ I am not that stupid of course I did. I chamois'd the car fully but obviously can't dry behind the guards very well were the edges stick. No I won't stripes are excess weight on a track car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I won't stripes are excess weight on a track car. lol i didnt meant to say you were. just saying water doesnt like them. you should be able to dry those areas too though. thats the added benifit of removable grills and tails and why you can open and close doors to get into the joins. should have done that after washing the car, or let it sit for a while to drain itself. Lol @ weight. 20grams if that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
