Certainly beats the $419 on ebay plus postage, cut out the middle man where you can and save $$$$$

    So someone who knows Holden don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to stopping parts from being reproduced has taken over Jasons business, well done and prices are more reasonable also.

    Jason was a fool to just shut up shop without fully looking into the legalities of part reproduction. Glad to see someone has taken it over though.

    If he was going through the divorce at the same time then it was probably all too much at once. Don't want to be fighting an angry woman and an angry corporation at the same time.

    I always found it strange that he didn't do specific colours to order. You had to wait till a run of that colour was done. Surely that would have cost him a few sales.

    Grafixunlimited have actually been around for a long time, way before Jason started his business.

    I would also highly recommend Andy from www.hqresto.com for any HQ related maters as well as other items as well.
    If you were searching for HQ SS decals he is the man, as he is the person that people like graphix got the original measurements from to start with.
    You could not come across a more helpful guy than Andy (other than Oz of course)
    Cheers Paul.

    Hope someone here will know...
    My decals arrived rolled up and when I tried to unroll them and part comes away from the backing.
    I hope I am explaining it properly...Anyway my question is:
    Do I leave them rolled up and thus leave the sticker bit in contact with the backing
    or
    Flatten them out?

    Thanks for any help.
    Cameron.

    I would leave them rolled up until ready to apply. When applying with warm water they should straighten out, so do not risk ageing the adhesive now by flattening if it is coming off the backing.

    Are they printed one 3m material? The ones I have here that stick this printed are on 3m material and they are really flexible.

    OK. Well good news. I am back. Life as people have got to know got turned up side down for me! Sadly I lost so much! As most will know!

    I am in a much better place now and will be doing the sandman stripes once again. It will take me about a month to get it all happeningng again. There is heaps of work to go into it again to get it done correct.
    I do still have some stock. So if you are after something let me know. I wont be doing all the small things at this stage.

    We all know quality of digital printed sets. I wont go on there. Yes they look great when first printed. But come back to me in 2 or 3 years time and tell me the same.............

    If you wanqualityquility stripes that have proven to be 100% by many members here let me know ;)
