and the better graphic fitters won't mind if the customer watches, the only problem with that is, it looks very easy to do when it's done professionally, but a different matter when trying to do it yourself and unless you want to learn by your mistakes ie, a few goes / graphics, leave it to the professionals

, unless you want to learn.

I was just pointing out something that I hadn't seen pointed out that I thought was a good point to make and relevant to this tread as I've seen it done many times (not by me I might add), and the marks & corrosion caused

That isn't always good though as someone who doesn't know what they're doing will also do this (some people aren't as fussy as others or respect other peoples property), there are some people who are very good & know that they're good and have plenty of very happy customers as you do, but there are also those who think that they are very good but are in-fact no good at all

, but this is as with everything else in life.

There have been a few times when we have been to fit new graphics but remove old ones beforehand and find that the person who fitted the original ones had just laid vinyl onto the car and then cut - and into the paint work. NOT GOOD PRACTICE !!!

This comment by a professional & quality graphics man just goes to show that that my original post #14 had a valid point to make.

Youv've never done any graphics for me Phil, but I'll be contacting you should I ever need any doing, and I'm very fussy!
