Standard raider stickers or Graphics?

Post by Big D »

Hi all

What would you go for? Standard Raider stickers or some custom graphics?

Arent there any graphic desingers or any photoshop'ers on the forum that can play with a few ideas?

Its a white Hilux with dark wheels. (havent decided on black or dark grey)

Wanted to go with snow camo but scared of getting shot while doing overlanding. :?

Cheers

Why put graphics on at all :?:

A clean lux looks better IMO :thumbup:

Graphics often pose a problem when it comes to paint touch ups / blow overs. Sadly one sometimes developes a few "battle scars" when off roading. Non metalic finishes without graphics are the easiest to repair.

Looks good! :thumbup:
But are those not stick-on and therefore technically still stickers? :twisted:
It's a pity base coat / clear coat looks so good, 'cos it's so difficult to match when touching up. Of course I have the same problem. :(

Mine is white, but I still have the original stickers on. I have just always thought that a lux without them looks better.
Also, as MD says, stickers make touch ups harder.

Also stickers fade and then don't look so good as you can't polish them up like the paint. :wink:
