Precise sticking pays off

Spraying is a craft, and so is labeling. An incorrectly placed sticker can ruin the line of the entire car. There are many sticker - or 'decal' providers. They deliver 'transfers', which are in fact nothing more than a picture in layers of lacquer, cut texts and logos, stickers and images printed on foil. Note that there are 'left' and 'right' images.
