My 914 has painted sail panels and I would like to install the vinyl. Need some advice on where to purchase. I found it on a few websites but don't want some cheap stuff. Also anyone recommend a adhesive?

I am a painting/wallcovering contractor and I have been installing all kinds of vinyls & wallpapers for 32 years. I did the two side sails on my white driver car recently and I used regular contact cement and a chip brush. This was a simple install for me and it turned out perfectly. This isn't rocket science. Take your time, use the right tools, layout, and adhesive. You need a good stiff squeegee like the ones we use for wallpapers. Draw some faint pencil lines on the car before install or use blue tape while there is no glue present to guide you to where the material will eventually land. (Easier on a white car.) The vinyl pieces that Mark @914 Rubber sells are perfect, and are a little bit oversized. There are (or can be) some relief slices you may need to make in the back where the rear vertical trims go on. The 8mm nut under the fender that holds the rear vertical trim is a complete pain in the ass to get to, to loosen/tighten. I use 9mm snap blade knives in my business, these work well for Targa vinyl work. A sharp blade for EVERY cut is important.
I need to do this on my black car soon, maybe I can video the install. Matt? Mark? |
