Making some progress on my Sideways BMW M6. First attempt at using wrap decals, these from Pattos.
Several issues have come up. The decals were made for a clear plastic body made by Pattos so the size is a little off. Hard to choose between cutting them into segments and applying in one piece. Cut up they are easier to fit to body cutouts like wheel wells and ducts. But that makes it hard to keep the graphics lined up.
The sharper details of the hardbody make it tricky to fit smoothly over details like door handles. The maker strongly advises against using decal setting solutions.
Finally, since the ducts, filler caps, etc. must be provided by the decal, they don’t match up well with the ones on the hardbody. This pic shows the black areas in the graphics representing these features.
Figuring work-arounds as I go. Will post my progress.
