Hey i just wanted to let you guys know that I just bought some bit decals from a guy named supracrusa on ebay and theyre great. I'd reccomend them to anyone who really wants to give a sporty look to your bit without doing any serious mods.

There is a sticker set that my LHS is selling. They are REALLY cool, but it's 20 bucks because there are a lot of different sheets. Those type R integra stickers and things.

LHS?

LHS = Local Hobby Shop

I bought some decals off SupraCruza too. Very nice, high quality stuff. And cheap, too.

Zeph, those Type R decals sound cool!

Boy, was I mistaking when I said great, high quality decals. I've had them on my car for less than a day, and 2 of them are allready chipping off... I'm gonna email supacrusa and see what he says.

did you put a layer of clear coat on the decals after?

metsrule119 · #10 02-20-2003, 05:24 PM

nope

metsrule119 · #11 02-20-2003, 05:25 PM

what should I use for the clear coat, and should i put it on the whole car or just over the decals?

go to wallmart or target and get some krylon clear spray paint. make sure you get the glossy. they should also have it at any hardware store.

you dont have to use krylon, just any clear coat spray paint. i use krylon and it works good. i would suggest spraying the whole car. it will make it look really shiny.. you might want to mask of the windows, but you dont have to. just give it a couple light coats and you should be good to go. or even one nice even coat might do the trick.

i make these decals also. im working on Nascar bodys. and decal sets for the bodys.. im looking to make the whole field of cars hopefully i can get them done in a week or two. i will have them on my website in my signature.

thx a lot. Does the car look rediculously shiny though? I have the blue skyline- will it loose its metallic look?

Spanky · #14 02-20-2003, 06:48 PM

not too bad. just dont drown your car in it. one light coat should be enough to hold the decals on.

If I remember correctly, the decals that ebay dude is selling are waterslide decals. Right?

waterslide material is intended for static display purposes. I'm not shocked that they did not last. Just handling the car will damage them in short order. There are products that are used to better fix them to the surface and protect them. Slot car guys and plastic modelers use it. Plug decals into google and you should get some useful hits.
