It will need laquered if its to resist the elements somewhat and not just end up a soggy mess when it rains. Ive done some sticker bombing before. Not on my own car obviously  :grin:

How does the laquer dry does it dry bumpy where the stickers have over lapped or does it level its self off if that makes sense  :undecided:

he was going to do the whole car (he had crashed it and replaced front end with pannels from scrappy in diff colour but couldnt afford a paint job)
then his insurance said he had to declare it as a paint job mod or something and he couldnt afford the insurance with that declared. i dont think he could afford to run it either so think the project got abandoned

It would be cheaper to paint it than all those stickers

If you give it enough coats and then wet sand it a bit it should level off.

think that was 3 or 4 books, each book was about £5, and the whole rear end was done too, only part that wasnt done out of those books was the doors, roof and rear quaters. though could see him going through quite a bit of laquer.

Being a bit of a middle aged boring fart I can look at sticker bombed cars and just give a smile at the yoof culture thing as it reminds me of when I was a young 'un and it became fashionable to have 'splats' on the car.
The first time I came across sticker bombing was at a local VW meet when a few lads turned up in old rat lookers with what looked like wallpaper stuck all over their cars. I'm guessing this is an American thing that is creeping in over here?
It looks okay on mk2 Polos and old Jettas etc but you wouldn't want to do it to anything decent as just like with the splats, it will suddenly get to the point everyone and their dog has done it and it suddenly goes out of fashion - just imagine the headache of getting all that crap off your car when you're sick of it!!!

Hey I have just done my whole boot front splitter and wing mirrors not every ones cup of tea but I like it. I used two books one called stickerbomb and the other stickerbomb 2 got them from whsmiths around 15 pounds each also once I had finished putting the stickers on I used yacht varnish ( can get it from most places) worked a treat plus gave it a really nice shine plus its waterproof obviously lol will try get some ive up for you mate.
