Totally agree mate,was thinking of ordering a kit either from one of these ebay suppliers or else-where and getting it fitted by a local sign writers,that way at least i know the peeps fitting it are experianced and know what there doing

local sign writers will say its a crap cheap kit and blame any niggly crap bits on the quality of vinal or sumthing like that

you would be better off fitting yourself IMO
just get 100% clued up on how its done and take your time

thats if you go down the cheaper route

You could ask the eBay seller what brand/type of vinyl it's on, and we can advise you on quality from there

I personally use Metamark, LG and the odd Avery vinyl which are all good, but even those have different grades.

As said by Sticky Micky - fitting is the all important factor

Have seen the one in question on ebay.

Due to him selling it so cheap and also the fact that it isnt the full kit i would say avoid it.
Im not saying this because i do the graphics myself, i am saying do you research and get the graphics off someone who knows what they are doing on here and who have good comments about there work.
Again as sticky has said, fitting it is the be all and end all, take your time and ask on here for help. Looks like we have 3 people on this post alone who will be willing to offer you advice and point you in the right direction.

Good luck, John

sorry a bit off topic - but did some of the guys who responded to this thread produce vinyl graphics kits. I have an idea of what I would like but need some help.

The large stuff is the easiest to fit as you put it on with soapy water and use a squeegy to squeeze the water out, couldn't be easier.

Contact John_WRX on this forum, he supplies full decal sets and I'm sure he'll be able to give you some no-bullsh1t advice. (Ah, I see he's already posted above! That'll teach me to pay attention in class!)

Anyone know how much a supply and fit professional full stickering up would cost rather than mess around trying to save a few £s and being dissappointed with the result. Also any recommendations for work the Yorkshire area.

Cheers, Diccy.
