Was the sheet just one large square sticker with the sticker bomb look?
I thought it would be a sheet with individual stickers like the ones you got when you were a kid and your could place wherever.
Individual stickers would be much easier.
Excited for pics.

Yer pretty much one big sticker. I will upload pics after work, keep in mind I haven't done all of it yet otherwise I will have nothing to do on the weekend haha.
Definitely would prefer single stickers but at least I got something to start with now.

I like it thumbsup.gif
I, like a couple people here, have considered it but haven't done it. Currently I've woodgrain vinyl.

Might I suggest using a heatgun on low or a blow dryer on the sticker around edges.. It will soften/strecth the material a bit and will allow you to pull the sticker tight around curves and corners with no binding, for example the small piece that is sticking out in the ashtray. Just a suggestion, I kinda have ocd when it comes to detail smile.gif

Again very nice!

Thanks heaps I have wondered how to do that, I will see what I can do, when the sticker sheets turned up here the mailman left them mostly out of the mailbox and it was pooring down rain so the edges lack a bit of stick, Appreciate
the positive feedback and glad you guys are liking it. I will put up more pics on the weekend when the rest will hopefully be done.

Looks good, but are you goign to go right to the edge of the trim? or leave it how it is?
I'd say go right to the edge for more of a completed look.

I wouldn't have a project on the weekend.

Ok guys here is some more progress.

Done bout 3/4 of it now, used a heat gun this time to stretch the stickers a little bit and make them stick better. Havnt applied a clear coat yet. The rest should be done by the end of the week.
Enough of me talking here is some pics:








I need to fix up the ash tray the edging of the sticker is sticking up I no.









As always would love to hear your opinions smile.gif

Looking good thumbsup.gif Knew some heat would do the trick.
For the clock, what I did was tuck the material behind.. so pop the clock out, lay the material and wrap into the clocks slot then when its all done pop the clock back in. Theres really no space, so excess sticker will stay tucked. Just my .02 cents smile.gif

Not too dificult its only 2 tabs, one on either side that hold it in place.. only trick is after out undo one tab it usually pops back in when you try the other side tongue.gif
