Re: dstocks vinyl build thread
Do a bit of research, but in the end, buy a good quality brand as it will last longer wear better stretch more and be easier to lay. 3M, Avery, Hexis are all good brands. There are probably a couple im forgetting on top of that.

Re: dstocks vinyl build thread
Which one of those is the best?
I am leaning towards 3M as it seems like the easiest to source

You can get Hexis via stickithome (google it). Couldnt say which is best. Seems to be different people like different ones. All 3 are good quality.

Re: dstocks vinyl build thread
Very nice dwayne, reminds me of the bayside blue on skylines.
But I think this is a tad darker. Great work can't wait to see it finished.

Re: dstocks vinyl build thread
Yeah, im loving the colour. An exact match for what I was originally looking for. Funny that Bayside blue was mentioned as if I had gone down the paint route, thats the colour I would have gone with. Also pretty damn close to the colour of the Kaze fenders I originally got from Japan:

FCK!!!!!
Dwayne, I think you are quite set with your retirement plan side business.
Not only is the colour coming out brilliant, it has a perfect finish to the work. ![thumright :thumright:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Re: dstocks vinyl build thread
Just hurry up and finish your custom rear lights, the colour clash of the stock lights is horrible IMO ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Re: dstocks vinyl build thread
I dont mind the red against the blue actually. But yes, have to finish them. Need cash for the lenses though and also for the mods required to the rear bar as the bits covering the taillight will need to be cut out and refinished.

Re: dstocks vinyl build thread
That blue looks so awesome now that the light is hitting it. I reken keep the white wheels however, they add that bit of offset which makes the car stand out ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Hmmmm, not convinced, I think its just a little too much of a contrast. but that will be the last job,so will see what the rest of the car looks like first.
