joe's toledo mk2

Cant wait to see how you go with the bonnet as that's what I'll be doing first.

Been reading up on it and it says to use a good wax remover such as AS Tardis to get the surface prepped for maximum adhesion. I'd be devastated if it started peeling off after all that hard work.

Good luck mate, and get lots of pics up

Cheers

got the bonnet done today instead of yesterday due to the misses

real pleased again with the results and the car now looks like a taxi heres the pics

Thats coming on nicely mate

Did you prep the bonnet at all before applying the vinyl?

Need to know before I do mine.

Was it an easy task? and any pointers/tips greatfully received

Cheers

lol 2.80 min fair, and with how much my tolly drinks about £40 per mile.

as for the prep same as ive always done, clean really really well with fairy washing up liquid in hot hot hot water, best not to use a car shampoo as some have built in waxes and such like. - dry off with lint free cloths. - then I wipe the panel down with white sprits on a lint free dry cloth covering everywhere then let it evaporate dry. - different parts need wrapping in diferent ways, like the bonnet I started in the middle where the raised strip is then worked it outward. one thing I have noticed is not to use to much heating and streatching so try to lay it down cool so to speak (nice hot day though)

Thanks for the tips

Will come in very useful indeed

One last question... when are you passing by Sheffield to help me?

Keep up the pics, really inspiring me

Cheers

[joe-20vt-toledo]
