i have some graphics i bought of ebay a bit ago. ive had some of them before and they were good quality so went back for bigger ones. im just looking for some decent in the scunny area. there just big swoosh subaru graphics - one per side roughly 2 feet by 6 feet in size.

i had a guy quote me £40 to fit them but he was used to signs on vans etc...

anyone??

 

????

 

What the hell are you asking?

You need to make your posts comprehensible if you want anyone to understand the query and post a reply

 

Mate; you lack patience.

 

aplogies, i am impatient, why do think i have a fast car!!!

no what im asking is if someone on here knows anywhere round the s c u n t h o r p e area that is any good for applying graphics. ive already bought them but dont want to fit them myself incase i get bubbles etc.

sorry if this sounds confusing i ddnt think so. bttp so any one able to offer assistance. please.

oh ****...

 

yellow pages

 

i guess so. maybe its me being up north and that but i can never find the right section to look into - ie am i looking directly for a signwriting place, a car garage? will you wipe my **** aswell now please

 

you're a very strange person, all the best with your car

 

thanx. but anyway do you know which section to look in for applying graphics. most companies in yellow pages just have the addy and number not a description of their services. if you get me.

IM NOT STRANGE LOOK AT OTHER POSTS JUST GET WORDS MIXED ROUND SOMETIMES...

 

Are you one of those "special" people then?

You want a sign writer most companies that produce custom Vinyl will have a fitting service as well. IMO £40 for two graphics being applied is steep

 

best thread i've seen for a while .

 

i thought that too alloy. £40 is alot but im not buying them and having tham fitted by the same guy so thats why i thought he may charge more. theyre frigging massive too go from one wheel to the other. id just f**k it up so i want it to look pretty.

 

heres a pic, one for each side, approx 75 by 25 inches in size. anyone else think £40 fitting for these is steep? answers on a postcard




***PLEASE IGNORE THE SUSPICIOUS LOOKING STAIN***

 

which one? the white one in the foreground, the dark brownish one in the background, the ones on the left or the ones on the right?

Yes £40 is steep, just have a bash yourself you're putting graphics on so you've already ruined the car

 

that should be **** easy to fit, my partner's was bigger than that and he had no problems.

 

i would try but i have no idea on the technique on putting them on. what would i need to use to not end up with bubbles etc??

and to the responce earlier about ruining my car with graphics... its each to their own and there are other cars on this forum with graphics. all i wanted was something simple that didnt stand out too much. im looking for the sublte but sporty look. sorry to offend.

 

no offence it was a joke anyway, bit like your graphics , J/k again

PM Stickystuff and ask his advice, he does quite alot of them

 

Wash the car and dry it then wet the area you want to stick the sticker with lightly soaped water preferably washing up liquid.

Peal the sticker off the backing paper and wet the sticky side of the sticker with the same soapy water, slap sticker on car where you want it, the soapy water will allow you to slide it around a bit to get it level, then us a squeedgy to apply the sticker to the car, forcing all the air bubbles and water out from behind the sticker, when you are happy it is flat and buble free then soak the application paper and leave for a while so that it gets really wet and then slowely peal off the application paper.

If desired you could then go over the sticker lightly with a hot airgun and the squeedgy to make sure it is stuck down.

It will take approx 24 hours for the sticker to cure before you should drive the car, then after 48 hours the sticker should be completely dry and stuck down.

Dead easy.

Now that will be 20 quid for consulting

 

ah smartguy lol. thats ok when i know its a joke i can have a bit of banter, bit like pslewis, rather sarcey with his answers but useful a lot of the time. il pm him see what he says...

 

i could try that wurzel but i dont have a garage at the mo to protect the still wet graphics from being nicked etc or running down the car. this is why i was looking for someone else professional to do it as i have no experience. its ok saying its dead easy but i dont want to f**k it up and waste the graphics.

i will remember the method though when i have a garage built soon... i suppose the recent rain round here wouldnt help if it was left overnight!!!

top advice though mate never thought of something like that.


P.S. TO ALLOY IS IT STICKYSTUFF AS IT DOEASNT EXIST APPARANTLY, TRIED TO SEND HIM A PM, WOULDNT LET ME...

 

Sticky Stuff does though

 

But don't PM him as he won't touch third party stuff with someone else's barge pole. Sorry.

 

sorry sticky, i thought it was a community will take note for future

 

Looking some of the previous posts, I'd say this thread was an example of Care in the Community, and living proof that 'day release' just doesn't work

However, just to humour you, I shall explain my previous post.

On a few occasions in the past I have, reluctantly, had the pleasure of fitting decals that were 'bought off ebay' (a 21st century version of 'got it from some bloke dahn the pub')

The quality of these items has been invariably ****e, and more often than not there are glaring mistakes in the layout which when pointed out to the customer leaves them feeling a little p1ssed off, to say the least.

As a result, I no longer fit anything that has not been supplied by myself, thus ensuring a quality that both myself and my customers are happy with. Simple.

 

Yes thats reasonable , i advised the chap to pm you for hints on how to fit them himself, obviously i don't know how that translated into the content of the pm he sent you

 

 

Try PMing Sticky Micky; see what he says.....
