Sorry about the pictures, I'll take proper ones once it's stopped raining

(It's the stripes BTW)

I've never done anything like this before and I tell you what...never again! It was so hard trying to cut around the petrol cap and ignition. The bit on the tea tray is a bit of an experiment :spin:

How can I look after it properly so that they stay on?

Any advice or comments appreciated :thumbsup:

[Pomp1]

me I like it, and it looks like a job nicely done. Like the bit on the tea tray too.Shouldn't be too much of a problem to look after, as long you're not too vigorous when polishing it.

That looks reaaly good. Very neat job. To make it permanent it would have to be lacquered but not sure if thats possible, what with it already being painted and lacquered. It should stay put as it is though.

Thanks for the comments guys I really appreciate it! :)

Can I use my normal Turtle wax polish over it or is it best to go around it and avoid the stripe?

[Pancho]

Had thought about doin the exact same thing once my bikes back from the painters! Looks ace! Well done, nice and straight!! I hate putting stripes on curved panels!

[keef]

Looks good :thumbsup:

[kneedown]

i would use auto glum [think that is how you spell it ] it is the best you can get

Pancho > If you want a set I got them form here http://carbon-trader.com/ on his ebay shop. Just tell him what colour you want, you'll need to buy 2 kits and he'll send one free along with Ducati Corse badges :thumbsup:

As for the polish I just meant is it OK to use over the stripes

[kneedown]

i would just go easy it leaves a film of wax and makes the colour better deeper over time

[Gunshow]

Looks wicked mate, well done, and that link to that guy you bought the from is amazing, some great stuff on there, thanks!

[jimbo696]

Looks great... Just be gentle when washing and polishing...

[Albie]

Very nice indeed. I would be proud of yourself. Well done you.

[Pancho]

Cheers fella, my brother cuts vinal so I'll get him to do me a set foc! My fave price!!

[He11cat]

nice work..... mine would be on the **** if I did it lol!

[rac3r]

Thanks everyone! I don't know how I managed to do it properly, the decal stage is usually where I mess up my Airfix kits :chuckle:

[uksurfer]

i think the 'duster' over the number plate looks superb......

love the black stripe, i think the pinstripes compliment it a treat, as for a DIY job, well done getting it all in line, i have seen many that wander one sided. :thumbsup:
