decals

[Cassandra]

anyone got them or used them before?

is it worth the expense getting a bodyshop to do them, or are they easy enough to do yourself?

For what they charge to fit them I would just pay, it looks easy but isnt, bit like plastering

Probably the understatement of the year

Imagine trying to wrestle an octupus covered in cooking oil and that doesn't take into account the wind that always seems to start just as you go to place the B. things on your van...

Decals

I've used decals on my van from ebay, found them easy to fit, look pretty good and very cheap compared to a signwriter effort!

Also tried tinting which was a disaster and impossible to fit!

Get a local signwriter to make them.

To remove old decals use a hair drier and peel them off.

To fit the new ones wet the area with water and fairy liquid, you can then easily slide the decals into position and remove any air bubbles with a brush or wet rag rubbing them over.

Once dry, they will stick.
