72 TA : New Project

[njsteve]

Did some more work on the flares. Knowing how bad the rear flares get pummelled by rocks thrown off the front tires, I decided to use the 3M clear protective film on the rear flares. I taped some wax paper over the flare and traced out the line of the front facing section. I then cut out the area from the wax paper and test fit that on the flare. Fit perfectly after a little trimming. With that, I transferred the wax paper onto the 3M material and cut out the section I needed. I used some of the leftover decal application gel from my stripes and it went on fine. The first attempt resulted in a few too many air bubbles but it seems to lift up rather easily and I was able to get it applied with no air bubbles at all.

Once applied it is virtually undetectable on the flares. I had to really try to get the edge of the applique to show in the photos.





And here is a photo of the pattern in case anyone needs to use it. By the way, you just flip it over to make the other side pattern.
