I like them. About how long did it take you/how hard was it to cut them?


Get me back into RC!

Thanks man!
If you get close enough to the truck you can see blemishes here and there...but not nearly as bad as some of my older bodies!
I will definatly use these again.

It wasnt very hard for me to cut them. But it is time consuming. I used an x-acto knife and took my time. I think the truck graphics took me about 1/2 hour to cut out. The buggy one had more detail, so I think that one took maybe 45 minutes to an hour. I kind of expected it....anytime I paint, most of the work goes into the prep. I do recommend using windex to get them placed correctly. If you have ever tinted windows (or seen it done) then thats kinda the method to use. You spray the body and the sticker with windex before putting it on....this will allow you to move it around a bit and make it easier to get air bubbles out. Once it dries it isnt goin anywhere. If you use this method tho, give it 24 hours to dry. I painted one body too soon and getting the masking off proved to be way more difficult....it seemed to want to pull the stickers off easier then the one that dried over night.

Man! I really could have used this suggestion last week when painting my Blizzard. I tried really hard, but ended up doing a really crappy job with the stickers. I will definitely remember the windex trick for next time.

Thanks for the tip!
