I have been told that by the use of a mock up, a hairdryer and by wet fitting, they will be made to mould to the shape of arches.
Personally I just couldn't see it and for every expert that said it could be done, there were 2 graphics experts saying it couldn't.
Would like to know if anyone has tried this approach.
The car that was built by Sooty for Ari to use on the McRae stages was striped up using the modern method ( Graphics ). And whilst a very good job was made of it, no way was it as nice as the traditional paint job ( shade of blue / width of stripes etc etc )
Your car looks fantastic, well done on a damn fine build.
