Status: offline 		Hi all, i am a very bad painter however my photoshop skills are alot better, i am after some material that you can print on and then stick to the inside of the cars body, im guessing printing on one side and peeling and sticking it with the other side, i am sure i have seen links around this site but when ever i have tried to use them i havnt been able to find what i am after, google didnt help too much either.

It's a thin vinyl sheet with a white peel off backing. I have not done a body with it yet but tried a few cd cases to see the effect. It looks pretty good. You can make your own custom stickers, designs and pictures. I got the transparent vinyl, printed a few things out as a mirror image, then sprayed the printed side with a protective coating. Next I cut each graphic out then the spayed white as a backing, again on the printed side. Now when you peel off the paper backing you're ready to stick on your own internal graphic. Try it, I think you'll like it! They also sell decal paper, temporary tatoo paper and sticker paper.

Status: offline 		I've been trying to decide on my next body, I've only painted one and seeing your post brought back some ideas I had when I got this paper. I may have to try making some internal graphics with my not so great painting skills and see how it turns out. If your interested here was my first body.
