thewelsho Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 To my decals WEnt out to install the solenoid discussed on the other thread and decided to see what it would be like trying to take the graphics. Three hours later I was finished! Once I got started, I couldn't stop. Thankfully no loss of laquer. I didn't have time to clean the car up so I will do that during the week.
scouk Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 That looks naked! (OOh! scooby porn!) Nice to hear no damage to teh paint! Decided what your going to replace them with yet?
the squiggle Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 That looks naked! (OOh! scooby porn!)Nice to hear no damage to teh paint! Decided what your going to replace them with yet? Exactly what i was thinkin. Car looks so bare without the gfx, just so used to the car with the SWRT scheme
dipsy Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) It will take longer to polish now Edited March 2, 2008 by Dipsy
mctwistuk Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 the naked look is not good for you John. When you getting new ones??????? Good to hear that there was no paintwork hurt in the stripping.
thewelsho Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 the naked look is not good for you John. When you getting new ones???????Good to hear that there was no paintwork hurt in the stripping. Yeah, it is naked looking, I don't like it and it will only be worse when I get theother ones off. I didn't wnat to take the WRC graphics off, but they were badly faded. I am going to put something else on but dunno what yet. Looking more and more likely that it will be the Ken Block "Monster Drink" design but I will try Photoshopping it first. I miss my stickers
colzo Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Must admit John I'm not a fan of graphics myself, but when I first saw your car I thought that actually looks quite smart. I now couldn't imagine your car without them. Glad no paint was hurt in the process!
thewelsho Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Heres a mock up of the Monster one, any thoughts on this? There is still more to go on the rear qurter and rear bumper as well. not to mention the front bumper one will all be replaced too - except the Tein one. J Edited March 2, 2008 by TheWelsho
rallyfever Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Hi John, Would need to see the finished mock up before I passed comment, but looks good so far - and certainly stands out. How did you take the old decals off? Did you use a hairdryer, or follow my advice with the DeWalt Heat Gun? Cheers Gary
stubaroo Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Sorry to go off topic a bit, but what are the alloy wheels you have on the car John?
thewelsho Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 Looks good mate. Thanks mate Hi John,Would need to see the finished mock up before I passed comment, but looks good so far - and certainly stands out. How did you take the old decals off? Did you use a hairdryer, or follow my advice with the DeWalt Heat Gun? Cheers Gary Heat Gun mate, just as you suggested. No way would a hairdryer have been up the task. The day-glo graphics are much toucher than the other stuff and need more heat especially since they have a reputation for lifting laquer. but what are the alloy wheels you have on the car John? Not usre of the brand, but they are PFF7 copies. I got them from a place in Falkirk called "Skids". They were really good. All supplied and fitted with rubber (Khumo) for £700.
RS Grant Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I'm not a lover of graphics on a Scoob, but thats maybe because they are always some variation of the SWRT thing... with a few more added, that Monster Scheme is gonna look pretty different. I like it so far mate and I'm glad to hear there was no laquer lifted. Cheers, Grant
fai17 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Monster looks good John as did you old graphics.... How is the car now?
thefastone Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Yeah Feelin the love for the new scheme John! Better than the annonmous nekikid scheme....
Big Gordon Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Your a brave man John removing them gfx. Can't wait to see the new look. I'm quite sure you won't have any entries in the "W.I.Y" topic as everyone will know exactly who they've spotted!
thewelsho Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 Monster looks good John as did you old graphics....How is the car now? Thanks, going great, still not stuck the new bit in yet. I like that!

Your a brave man John removing them gfx. Can't wait to see the new look. I'm quite sure you won't have any entries in the "W.I.Y" topic as everyone will know exactly who they've spotted! It was a brave move, but I had to do it! No WIY just Spotted ... LOL!
StrikE Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I kinda liked it with all the decals, shame they are gone.
marky.t.s Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 "whats that coming over the hill......is it a monster??".....nope its the JW340.

J Have you done a full mock up of all the gfx? Looks pretty tidy IMO but still a bit bare in that pic above. Had actually been half wondering about the Monster scheme myself (Crystal Grey STi) after seeing the Mtn Lab scoob and snowboarders Could never find a decent pic of the car to see what all gfx were on it though.

Na not yet, still looking for decent donor-images.
iainc Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Na not yet, still looking for decent donor-images. yeah, was the problem I had. Would be quite cool (as in easy for me) if you did the gfx on a new blank layer on your pic, so you could send a copy of the gfx as a clear layer to be overlaid on any coloured scoob side on when you do finish
