what's your sticker removal process?
Drill+3m Eraser Wheel= MY NEW FAVORITE TOOL! I guess it doesnt hurt to say Ive had to use it on THREE of my last details! Two pinstripe removals, and now these decals. It makes the world an easier place with the right tools!

That probably explains it. An entire years worth of OVER dressing the tires! Now that you say that, whos to bet it doesnt come back from HIN completely BLACK again?!?

So, what drill and where can I find this 3M Eraser Wheel?
I wish I would have known this before I did the pinstriping on my truck.

BTW, the car came out great Billy. Like the sticker too.
Where did you ge the sticker made, and how did you come up with the design?

Any standard household drill will work, the eraser wheel is actually meant to be put on an air tool, but a drill works just fine..better have good batteries or a plug in type though!

Im not sure where you can find the wheel, do a google for the 3m eraser wheel and you should be able to find someone in your area who carries 3m. i got mine from a local paint supply store, so check for those.

As Integra21 mentioned, the stickers were MADE by JDMUPS.com, but my entire logo was designed by a guy names Adam Cambell, you can check him out juicyart.net. The design idea was mine, but my designer really put it all together really nicely.

Thanks for the compliments!

Amazing work! I love browsing thru these posts just to see the great jobs you guys do. I'm a noob to much of this, so here's a dumb question. What's "fallout"?

I love the TSX in PPW. My 04 was the same color. I am impressed with how clear the pics came out. Many of mine looked grainny due to the pearl.

Nice job. I hope he keeps it looking good for at least a week

Rail dust usually from being shipped or just contaminants in the paint from everyday driving, etc. Just consider it "stuff" thats not supposed to be there!
