Drove past this ute the other day and noticed the decal on rear panel,havent see one before and set about scouring Ebay etc looking for a set but no luck so seems its not an oem Ford thing,looks a bit Moparish but took my fancy and i reckon it would look ok on my old ute.So is this something any signwriter type could do in a sort of matt vinyl or whatever it is?

Any signwriter who does vinyl cutting could do it, I believe they can work from a photo if you can provide the dimensions.

Piss easy for em. Applying it is the trickiest part (hint, pay them to do it).

Panelbeaters trick
Comes from applying those full length L200 ones that used to go over the arches as well.

3 or 4 drops of sunlight liquid in a couple litres water.
Wet car apply sticker (the sunlight solution lets you move it)
Screed out the bubbles, Dry off = Done

Tempting mate but had a frustrating time with the clear plastic stuff on the TLs fairing years back so dont want a repeat.:no::laugh:No doubt the young lady that makes em will have them on easy enough,rather pay a bit more and get it done right.

Yep got the chick to do it,have never seen the whole process and found it pretty interesting,pretty much nothing you couldnt do in vinyl eh,should have taken the camera as the guy that owns the outfit had his stunning GT350 stang in the workshop you will probably have seen the one T red with white stripes and well....stunning really.Better pic of the ute fwiw.

Your imagination is the limit. Create what you want, print it out, apply. Some of the guys have done all sorts of camo prints, it's also how you get the vehicles in full wrap with advertising.

Indeed,have never had any reason to think about it before but after seeing it done its way cool.Got a bit nervous watching her apply the things but no need just another day at the office for her,theres no doubt i would have fucked it up so glad i didnt try.Fwiw she said the applying water before was a no no,ok with the old stuff but no need these days.

Depends entirely on the material you're working with. It's very much an industry in itself now. :yes:
