Matt - follow Tigger & Adam around in the trails - they will show you the easy trails. Do not want to scratch that baby - did not say anything about SINKING it.
Yeah - say NOOO to sinking her! I'll do the same as I do when riding 4 wheelers with friends - I pull over to the side and take pictures and video of the fools! And sometimes act as a tow truck!
I appreciate the offer on the replacement stencil Dave, but it was my fault - no yours! I wouldn't think of letting you send me a free replacement. For now (until after the rally), I am going to tape off the 3 letters and 3 numbers and touch them up. I wasn't completely satisfied with my "dry sprayed" hood to start with, so I am planning on re spraying and re applying the markings on it this fall/winter. I will order some new hood numbers and star along with my M100 set when I start blasting the trailer, as I know they will be at my door in about 5 days!
I hope you didn't take my comments on my blog as bashing remarks - I, in no way, meant them to sound that way! Like I said, this was MY first time applying markings - it was a learning experience for me.
Now, having the mask squared would aid a newbee like me in applying them. I actually squared some of them off myself (like the bumper stencils - I cut them square, 2" from the ends of the bumper because that's where I wanted them placed). But you will still need to tape the stencil down where you think you want it, measure and visually check it (twice), before you "stick it down.
After I pulled the paint up with the mask, my brother (I used his shop and paint booth to do this work) suggested scuffing the area to be painted before painting. I used a Scotch Brite pad, and yes, it did pull some of the letter points up a little - but I think it helped it to stick better.
Yes, for me and all newbees out there, add "allow the paint to COMPLETELY dry before removing the mask!" You know how impatient we are!
With all that said, thanks for the great product and support, and I'll be placing my M100 order after the rally next month!
