Re: Magnetic Armour & Tape
Yes. I have a Victory Red H3, and got a roll of 10' x 24". Not nearly enough. Just did one side. I am ordering a roll of 25' x 24", and starting from scratch again. I learn't the hard way. I did the passenger doors, no problems, it cuts easily. I then did strips on all the other places. BAD MOVE. I am going to make a template for the upper doors, and cut out the magnet to the template. The only things I will need to tape will be the fiberglass fenders, and side of rear lights. I will tape the edges of the magnets when finished, so NO Victory red is showing at all.
I just went on a run this weekend as kind of a shake down run through the brush, and learn't a lot. DO NOT BE SCARED TO COVER EVERY LAST BIT ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I used 3" painters tape on the fenders,a nd it started to tear it off. i am still going to use painters tape on the fenders, but I am going to put red stucco tape on top. I just tried it in my driveway, and it really adds strenth to the tape. The blue painters tape does not leave any residue that cannot be cleaned off with a damp cloth. Make sure you truck is clean before putting the armour on. I always travel with a buddy, and he has a beat upi 1970 blazer that will go anywhere. Pinstriping is not a problem to his rig. After the trip we just went on, he called me next day, gushing about the trail damage to his rig, hoping I would be in tears about the H3 being scratched, but thankfully, not a scratch. The magnetic vinyl does a great job. maybe I should creat a company and make magnetic car coats ?????
