I'm going to work on my metallic green today.



I am a tad bummed that the red metallic (the pink looking one)'s headlight surround decal wrinkled a little like a bottle cap. I think it was due to old stock that I got at a great price. the decal was a tad yellow in the clear area of the decal sheet compared to my other 2.

I use a heat gun and apply using my soft silicone squeegee, usually goes on smooth following the contour of the body. I ordered striping tape in silver metallic. I hope to redo that when it comes in this week.

I have a Nikon DSLR camera and Manfrotto tripod.. I shall take a cleaner picture of my cars soon.
