I do the same when I see plastic testes hanging off towbars :S

But you got to admit it grabs attention, makes you think about the private life of owner/driver just that little bit more than necessary...

As for painting the car will it be airbrushed by a pro, or DIY? Plan to keep the car a while, how will it affect resale value if painted?

Vinyl is ok, just don't park in direct sunlight everyday for extensive periods :)

Belle...The vinyl i use has an underated guarentee of 7yrs outdoor life and i have jobs ive done that are closse to 10yrs and the vinyl is still great. Its like window tint...the cheaper you go the more fading etc...you get...I had a company car years ago that after a year you could see a dark line around the top of the windows where the tint had faded.
If you need any advice with regards to vinyl grades/quality even the graphic design etc... just give me a call...I'll PM you my number.

Guys/Girls
Honestly....if anyone wants/needs advice on vinyl application/design...what the difference is between vinyl's etc...please just shoot me a pm with your phone number and i will give you a call..
This is no strings attached if you know what i mean....I cant apply your vinyl if your interstate anyway...But i may be able to save you time and money by talking you through the application process.
Even with my business i will knock back a job if i think something wont work or last....I's not worth my reputation and thats what i run on. Even if i warn a customer that something doesnt suit or wont last and if i was to do it.....When it doesnt...guess who gets the blame LoL...Its happened ONCE lol
It's a car club afterall and thats what we're supposed to do...help each other out.
Some of you may only think that i do just small decals but the only thing i dont do is wraps...i leave that to the big guys..

Anyway...thats my blurb...so if anyone ever needs a hand....ring ring lol
