bravo 35 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 Did you want the words on there? If not, send the plates back. Othrewise, my advice is a bit of white signwriters vinyl - should be able to get some free out of their scrap bin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danutt 4 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 pre printed for another company but the word can be used as a custom plate so yea beats payn approx 400 for a plate aye! thanx for the advice on the white vinyl where could i get sum tho ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) So you bought these second hand I guess?? You can get the vinyl from any signwriter - ask them nicely for some offcuts - clean your plate thouroghly and then spray with water, cut the vinyl to size and peel off the backing - spray the sticky side with water. Then put the vinyl on the plate and wait for it to dry. The water makes it easy to stick on and remove all bubbles - it doesn't disolve the glue unless you really soak the vinyl in ALOT of water for some time. In other words its almost impossible to use too much water and the result is way better than you can possibly get without using water.

bravo 35 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) By silver I guess you mean that relfective white colour - don't know if signwriters have much of that lying around - white would do OK. You can buy reflective sticky tape from any safety store. There's NZ Safety in Albany, Glenfield, Avondale, Penrose, East Tamaki, and Wiri. www.nzsafety.co.nz and Protector Safety (www.protectorsafety.co.nz in Takapuna, Avondale, Penrose, and East Tamaki.
