Thats where I got my blackout panel vinyl and it was great...I would guess the other stuff is just as good

[Drick]

NONE! STAY AWAY FROM VINYLS!

I will quote my posts from an old thread

I can say this cause I wasted the money on one of those rocky mountain graphics kit and the damn thing is sooo thin, scratches after the first wash and just doesnt look right Heres a pic of mine. It is cost 7 bucks to do also did the spoiler

Scuff it up with a grey scotch bright pad, take off the emblems tape it off real good and coat even. Make sure you get good paint tho not the cheap gloss that will fade. Get the industrial strength Rustoleum or something to that effect.

Then take you tape, tape off the section you want to paint and add paper around it so you dont get overspray on your car obviously. Then take a spray bottle and pour a couple onces of rubbing alcohol in it and fill the rest with water. Spray down the surface you scuffed and wipe clean and dry with a lint free towel. Take a tack rag and run it back over the surface to get all left over dirt off. Stand back and paint the area with good strokes. One real light coat that you can still see through to give the rest of the paint a good base to stick to. Then apply another coat that you cant see through, Let dry for 10 minutes or so and re coat one more time. More is not better 3 coats is FINE. Then peel your paper and tape off let dry. Put new double sided tape on your emblems, stick them back on and you've got a blacked out trunk

Hope this helps.

Dont waste your money on that crap. Buy some vinyl inserts for the letters and call it good.

Im still out like 70 bucks from all the vinyl crap I bought from rocky mountain junk

im glad i asked, i already have the vinyl letters from AM and they have the hood vinyl on AM as well..is that one good quality? and im afraid to tape off my car and paint it...too afraid id mess up lol ...are there any places the make good quality vinyls like the ones i posted? or am i out of luck..

I have the lower bumper insert from rocky mountain graphics and I think its good quality.

The hood stripe thing would most likely be the same vinyl so I believe it would be good quality also.

idk what wrong with your vinyl but mine has 0 scratches and has been through many washes and sho no sign of scratches or swirls. but that is a good idea and would save money.

I made my vinyl blackout for around $15.

I did it in flat black. Now I am gonna redo it in gloss black. See what I like better.

I say gloss black but hey thats just me. you see how mine looks with it since we have the same color stang

I agree with Drick on this one and if my vinyl ever fails then im gonna paint mine also. I can't complain with mine though. I went too a sign shop to buy some vinyl and the owner gave me enough vinyl to do my whole rear minus the letters for free. I guess he was in a really good mood that day.

Yeah, that is what I am thinking. I have the vinyl sitting next to me as a matter of fact. I am going to take care of it next week after I detail the car.
