Powered by Fairydust Stickers for your car.
There are many suppliers of these stickers offering a wide range of designs in various colours. Here are a few tips to help you with your choice.
1. Decide whether or not you want a vinyl cut sticker or a printed sticker. A vinyl sticker is supplied in three parts which include: backing paper, the cut vinyl (attached to the backing paper) and application tape used to lift the vinyl away from the backing paper in one piece. A printed sticker is normally printed onto clear, it is generally easier to fit but more often than not does not look as professional as a vinyl cut sticker.
2. Make sure you select the right size and format. Do you want the sticker to be on the inside or the outside of the car? Many of our customers request stickers for the inside. The advantages for this are: it cannot be peeled off, many people think it will be more durable whereas in reality a good quality (more on this later) vinyl will last a good 5-7 years on the outside of any vehicle. If you want a sticker for the inside make sure you order a reverse cut. However I always recommend an external vinyl if you are fitting it yourself. Internal stickers can be very difficult to lineup and to make sure they are straight. External are much easier to fit, they lay flat on windows which make it easier to ensure they are fitted correctly.
3. Vinyl quality and size. There are lots of cheap powered by fairydust stickers available online. Remember you are fitting this to your pride and joy. If it seems to good to be true it normally is. If you apply a cheap vinyl to car paintwork then you run the risk of the vinyl shrinking and fading overtime, it peeling away or worst case scenario it removes some of your paint or the paintwork is a different colour when you try to remove it, not good. In terms of size make sure you measure up before you order and check to make sure it is sent in one piece. These stickers should be sent in a postal tube to avoid damaging them in transit. I have seen many suppliers fold these and push them into an envelope.
4. Applying your powered by fairydust stickers - most suppliers will include fitting instructions but to summarise make sure the surface is clean and free of grease and dirt, take the sticker and apply masking tape to the top of the sticker sticking the sticker to the surface of the car (or any surface you choose to use). The masking tape should act as a hinge, lift the sticker away from the surface and peel away the backing paper, you should now be left with the vinyl sticker and the application tape over the top of it which is hinged by the masking tape. Push the whole sticker down onto the surface and rub with your hand/rag or application tool (an old credit card is good for this), make sure the vinyl is attached then slowly peel away the application tape. I normally start in the top left corner and peel at 45 degrees, take your time. When you are ready to remove just warm up the vinyl with hot water or a hairdryer and peel off.
5. There are lots of designs available using the Curlz or Jokerman font. Enjoy!
