carbonized 4g93 head

[FoarGeez]

few of the zthians here had done this b4 too.. juz wanna show my work.. holiday too long n got nuthin to do.. so... here it is...

things as show below.. very sharp scissor, 'Dolphin' blade, 'Good Morning ' cloth, 'Alladin' lighter n cf stiker from abang's (rm15 for 1 meter.. more than enough)

cut bout roughly the size of the head. btw make sure the head is 'cool' (not high temp/not hot la)

heat is being used so the sticker can b stick to the most part of the surface.. dont heat it too long, or the sticker will melt.. if u got a HOT AIR GUN that would be great..

halfway there..... fingers startin get tired.

the part that need ALOT of patience.. same thing, use lighter so the wording is fabricated nicely. use blade to remove any trapped air bubles..

[kruger]

thats what we called high quality imitation ;) hehehe...

 

[sam1741]

hi dude.. can teach us how to remove bubble ? cut a hole on the sticker? :D

 

[kruger]

if got some air buble just use a needle... pinch on the air buble and heat it up a little bit and press...

if u hav the time, n patience n long enough cf sticker... why not? but i personally wont wanna try it.. i sure frus wan. hahahaa..

 

[FoarGeez]

dashboard as if u mean the aircon panels n stuffs? y not..? juz must haf the patience n it can b done.. no rush. will be much easier with the right tools.. a hot air gun or a highpower hair dryer will do. happy DIYing :regular_smile:

 

[rattan]

very neat...

 

[nitrus]

how is the sticker looking now Foargeez ? any mishaps..?

 

[reddice]

i want to do..

but my head is sohc..so cant do.

what to do...sleep la..

 

[FoarGeez]

nitrus, the condition can say ok. ofcoz not glossy as when i juz did it.. it kinda faded and became matt abit due to the engine heat.. will post the pics here if hav d time. well wat do u expect for a 15 ringgit cf plug cover?? hehe..:regular_smile:

reddice, if u cant do the head cover, theres still alot of parts in n outside of the car u can 'carbonized'.. hehe.. cheers.. anyway, i like yr signature man.. cool.
