If you were searching for hq ss decals he is the man, as he is the person that people like graphix got the original measurements from to start with.
You could not come across a more helpful guy than andy (other than oz of course)
cheers paul.

I agree. Met him the other day at a swap meet at his setup stall. Brought a sticker for the air cleaner and a fuel line. Both were exceptional quality. Really nice and helpful bloke. You couldnt buy the pipe and ends for what he was charging, really reasonable.

Was that him parked right next to the showground arena at Queanbeyan? Had a real workhorse looking white HQ van? I got a HZ grille off him, black paint flaking off, few little chips on the slats but the stainless was good and for $10 I couldn't leave it there. I nearly popped on his LS Monaro Fascia as mine has holes for switches and extra guages, but his had a couple of the really thin bits of woodgrain missing and I didn't really have money to throw around.

Yeah I think so. He had a table and boards setup with his stickers on. Bloody hell its freezing. Going to the coast with the kids to have a hugh bonfire and bbq tomorrow to watch the footy. :-)

Yes I agree that Dave from Grafixunlimited is a very helpful guy and good to deal with, he stated he knew Jason and had supplied decals to him over the years.

Hope someone here will know...
My decals arrived rolled up and when I tried to unroll them and part comes away from the backing.
I hope I am explaining it properly...Anyway my question is:
Do I leave them rolled up and thus leave the sticker bit in contact with the backing
or
Flatten them out?

Thanks for any help.
Cameron.

I would leave them rolled up until ready to apply. When applying with warm water they should straighten out, so do not risk ageing the adhesive now by flattening if it is coming off the backing.

Makes sense to me, thanks.

Are they printed one 3m material? The ones I have here that stick this printed are on 3m material and they are really flexible.

OK. Well good news. I am back. Life as people have got to know got turned up side down for me! Sadly I lost so much! As most will know!

I am in a much better place now and will be doing the sandman stripes once again. It will take me about a month to get it all happeningng again. There is heaps of work to go into it again to get it done correct.
I do still have some stock. So if you are after something let me know. I wont be doing all the small things at this stage.

We all know quality of digital printed sets. I wont go on there. Yes they look great when first printed. But come back to me in 2 or 3 years time and tell me the same.............

If you wanqualityquility stripes that have proven to be 100% by many members here let me know ;)
