I stole things off the internet (nothing copyrighted please don't kill me!) ..printed them on teslin on my regular printer and cut them out with an xacto..spray coats, clear over...done...


You get better results with paint..i just hate vinyls..they stick but you should put at least one layer of clear over them...usually you should clear till you can't feel the ridges..

vinyl or Mylar is a pretty durable although not invincible material. It is tough and flexible. The glue is peelable but it will stay for years.

I still have Mylar street stickers up from seven years back... paint pen graphics and all. It's amazing considering the weather we get here.

Not a bad idea to do graphics with. I've been thinking of getting the black decals off on my left side... don't like 'em anymore. Anyone have any recommendations for a particular clearcoat to cover up the ripped-off parts or new stickers with?
