John,

I used a heat gun and HOT water on a sponge when I removed mine, came off ok then gave the car a good claybar polish and wax.

As long as you take your time it works.

I think the special solution you get from the people who supply the vinyl would be the best option with the faded swooshes and stars.

Cheers mate. I don't really know how to get a hold of that stuff though. AFAIK, Chris is based in Perth now, so a bit of a hassle. I'll probably try a smallish area first to see how it goes and then decide from there. Defo a job for the warmer weather though.

Hi all,

The reason I went for the Dewalt heat gun is that it has an adjustable temp on it so you can increase or decrease as you feel best suits the matertial the decal is made from, personally I had no problems at all and with a bit of patience and a couple of hours I had the car bare with no damage to the paintwork.

But if yer no as brave I suppose it's back to the old hairdryer and sore fingers!!!! Good luck Welsho with whatever you decide to do, keep me up to date with any progress on the new decal front.

Cheers

jus seen this post, any updates to be heard of?

love the monster energy, tell me your not getting it so i can steal your idea, my car is black after all, it'd be cheating if ur blue heap got them lol. just kidding.

how much graphics can you actually put on ur car?? i mean for instance if your were to get that would they vinyl 75% of your car with black?? same goes with the DC camo as that looks the nuts but struggle to see how anyone could do it unless your car colur was one of the camo colurs as a base colour if you catch my drift.

so would the place in hillhouse be the place of choice

No updates as yet I'm afraid. I guess you can put 100% vinyl on your car if you really wanted too. If Ido get the Monster graphics I wouldn't do the black bit, I'd just leave it blue. What place in Hillhouse is this?
