Hey guys, not a huge update or anything but here it goes..

Today was bored and realised i had no 6x9 speakers. So i went abouts to make new rear door cards (quarter cards? ahah) and also cut a hole for the speakers. I didnt want to do it to my existing ones as they were pretty nicely covered in a leather vinyl.

Didnt turn out too bad i suppose.

I know its nothing huge but i didnt want to ruin the suprise, however i'll have to in the search of advice. I've decided to cover my whole front bar in stickers, due to the lack of money to re-straighten and re-crome it. I've started off and jsut needs a bit more. I love the concept of having a different, never seen before golf, so i went for it. It turned out alot better than i had expected, will post pics when complete.
The big question is, what can i put over the bar to protect the stickers from peeling or fading. I was thinking a clear coat with a spray can wll be fine, but then what exactly am i looking for. I even though maybe a layer of gladwrap or something jsut to give it extra protection ahaha. Anyone got ideas ?

clear vynal (spelling) wrap. Or clear contact even (used to wrapping books even) Clear coat might work too though, thought I'm concerned how it would go sticking to the stickers. You could always do a test and find out!

wrap in clear contact so it goes behind the bar, then seal it with some good duck tape on the back side so it wont peel off

I'd go with 2 pack polyurethane myself, hard as nails that stuff.

Bunnings sells it in the timber paints section. It's usually used to hard surface coffee tables.

Wont i need a compressor and a gun for that mate?

Also how do i use the clear contact.. the only one i've seen is for books, and its around A3 size. Never seen anything bigger.. ?

That urethane can be applied with a solvent resistant foam roller I believe. Might be worth going and asking someone at the counter.

I wouldn't use contact either. Try a sign writing supply place like Supply one and get some clear sign writing vinyl. It comes in sizes big enough to cover a truck and is weather proof for 8 years.
