hi nik, car looks great! well done, looks nicely fitted and by looks of it your fitting cast dry? or am i wrong 😕 :lol1:

cheers rob 😀
no cast, i fitted dry with 751..as used in the previous fitting, its still there in the recesses…i love working with 751 which i thought would be okay on the subaru 😀

in picture your using nylon squeegee??… are you pushing into the vinyl horizontal or cutting in verticle swipes?oh you dont miss a trick eh rob….i started out pushing vertical to get it going then used my fingers to feel the movement just a tad, then worked it horizontal after that to follow onto the end of the stripe 😉

a wee tip, when doing car body shapes like this its handy to try using a flexi but firm felt squeegee. just use it like you said to get a start then fingers to feel the shift in direction of the bodywork. but then in places you may think the vinyl may pucker a little or crease start cutting into the vinyl in swipes like i do in the last 4 layer vinyl demo. it actualy draws out te chance of it creasing and lays flat… sorry im hopeless at explaining :lol1:

yes i know that rob…i usually use them, but it was only for a tiny wee stretch of vinyl to get the feel for the rest of the job i used my fingers….no bubbles were present by the way…well only one that i have just spotted on bolting solutions..it will go away in time 😉

Nice Nik, about time you started showing us some of your stuff dammit.

Nik,
is that your own workshop you are in or is it the body shops? Reason for asking is the ramp.
Wish i had one to save my aching knees
Job looks good BTW
