My decals aren't perfect but don't really care Still looks good to me. Lol

 

Nice floor lift in the garage man

 

We'll see how it holds up

 

Well the cheap-o ones I have are yellow, they're probably meant for body filler or something but I was careful not to dig into the decal.

 

I dont know much about decals. Whats all this wet application stuff?

 

It means you use a liquid of some sort that will allow you to shift and move the decal to get it perfectly straight.
Then you use the squeegee to push out the liquid which will then allow the glue to bond with whatever you're applying the decal to.

Some use a few drops of soap in a spray bottle filled with water, but the issue with that is dependent on the glue and if it has a negative reaction to the soap. Sometimes this could kill the glue completely.

A better method of wet application is using real vinyl application solution, but even sometimes that may react badly with the glue.

Spray you use to unfuck your fuckups
basically dish soap and water so you can reposition the decal and remove bubbles easier

The bitch of it is, you have to spray the unfuck solution before you fuckup. And since you may not fuck up, it's possible that it isn't worth a fuck

 

Fuck.

 

Fuckin' tell me about it....

 

Drive up to Ohio and I'll put your decals on for you

 

Installed my behind the seat mollie panel!

 

New Husky weatherbeaters

 

Probably cheaper to pay someone local to do it, lol.

 

Maybe. Lol.

If I had the time, I'd get back into it. It's around 80% profit and a $200 job can be done in an 2 hours. A good vinyl cutter costs minimum $750 and the software is ridiculous $$ though

 

Now replace that husky label with a TRD one. Can get one for weather techs on here, but not sure about husky. label looks close in size, so maybe?

 

What's the difference between theses husky weather beaters & weather tech floor liners? They look identical

 

I think they are essentially the same thing. I've inly had weathertech so I don't know for sure. There's a new brand out that has sound deadening in it

3dmaxpider. I have no idea of the quality.

 

Installed 4 D-rings on the bed bolts, prepping for a dirtbike.

 

There are some little differences, one thing I noticed on his pic above, the fit around kick panel looks tighter. Weathertechs, need a little massaging/heat to get em to form better.
