I think Brad got his magnetic ones from Vista Print.
Apprently he had a discussion with a very distingwished gentelman in the car park of the Compleat Angler who's attention had been bought to the Team Zarse sign. It went something along the lines of: "Can I help you"(Brad), "That sign says somthing disgusting" (Old Gent), "No it doesnt" (Brad) "It does if you take the Z away" (Old gent), Well dont take the F88king Z away then" (Brad).

I have had some stickers made up for my car. Told the sign company it was for the car and was not going to be put on forever, so must be able to take them off with no damage to the paint. Been doing this for the last 3 years and so far no problem. It will depend on the paintwork your putting them on. When you take them off choose a hot day and they should come off dead easy or use a hairdryer to soften the glue under. If any glue left on the paintwork try a bit of WD40, that worked when I took the stickers off my van, and they had been on there for years. Oh yea, before you put them on, make sure the paintwork is clean and dry. Failing that, Paddy will know more than me, I think he has a bit of experiance with stickers  So are we going to see a Gulf colours horse box? Cool |

A bit of soapy water helps to position them without sticking too quickly, then work from the middle out with a bit of plastic (like a credit card) to smooth them out and get rid of the bubbles. Hairdryer is good for removal.

Cool Well the wife calls our camper "the horsebox" I did have a few ideas along that line.......... all depends on cost's! The sides are made of GRP I just dont want to have to spend two weeks trying to scrape stickers off on our return from l/m |

We have them on/off our camper and trailer all the time for motocross - all GRP sides and no issues at all as long as you use a reputable 'printer' (we generally use 3M cut viynal graphics). Take them off using a hairdryer to loosen up the adhesive and was and polish after and volla, no marks left. Best of luck!  |
