    I had to do some research on it for the hubby ( him and his ideas)

    You are limited to the design available from the manufacturers.

    If you could print your own it`ll be great

    Take it you couldn’t find a supplier of the print media Denise. I did the same as you. Lots of research but couldn’t find a supplier for the film. Emailed a couple of companies but they were only interested in selling their printed designs & not a roll of film.

    we did speak to someone offering this service at a car show, he said his supplier would print our own designs, but he`d want a minimum print run of £20K worth………

    I also looked at this, you can buy the blank media never got a price though, you need a pigment based printer not solvent and a spray booth to apply a clear coat to protect the print.

    the spray was an activator to dissolve the backing
