Applying decals/graphics

Postby Northwest2go » Fri Jan 11, 2013 7:57 am

On Sat, I'm going to apply the decals for my conversion I got from Anglia graphic signs in Stowmarket. Any tips from folk who have done this?

Bit of water with some washing up liquid in a spray bottle will allow you to move the graphics around, also a hair dryer or air gun is a good idea if you need to shrink the vynle

Have a look on Youtube, I did a full van after watching a couple of videos and it was quite straight forward.... just search for applying decals or something similar.

I have the vinyl here ready for the replacement van but waiting for a bit warmer weather than we have now :wink:

Despite the cold weather today, I put my fur hat on and firstly washed the van and then chamoix leathered it. I then put the decals on. Turned out to be an easy job. Then popped upto motorspares and bought some hub cap covers...Looks a different motor now and even the neighbours have commented on it's move forward.
