Vinyl Decals Stickers Ninja 250R and more - Check it out... - Page 4

kkim · October 11th, 2009, 12:43 AM

thanks, Kevin.

BTW, the Ronsonal did not take off the adhesive residue from the OEM "Ninja" stickers when I removed them. I found out that lacquer thinner does an excellent job of removing the adhesive with no damage to the paint.

kevins_garage · October 11th, 2009, 07:34 AM

That looks pretty cool with the white graphics!

That adhesive on those Ninja stickers is pretty heavy duty - I used the lighter fluid mainly to soften it up, then I scraped the bulk of it of in a huge, sticky booger like substance. Once I got the bulk of it off, the lighter fluid and a tissue worked fine to get the leftover residue off. I'm glad to hear the lacquer thinner worked better. I wasn't sure how the lacquer thinner would react with clear plastics though - not sure if it would cause them to "cloud" up if it got on them. I have used the lighter fluid on clear plastics without any adverse effect.

kkim · October 11th, 2009, 09:54 AM

Yes, I did not use the lacquer thinner on the windshield, so I cannot recommend using it on clear plastics. Worked well on the painted surfaces, though.

Thanks again, Kevin.

I'd love to do this. I'm sure this is somewhere in the thread but I don't have time to search... is there a list of colors and maybe swatch previews I can look at? And how much is it for the Kawasaki that goes over the tank?

Thanks!

Colors I have right now are in post #23 on page 1 - I'm hoping to add Kawi green, a teal green and a purple shortly.

Tank overlay is $7 delivered for a set of 3 (just in case).

I was going to go back and update the original post on the first page with the new additions, but it doesn't look like the board allows edits after 30 days or so. Post #103 on page 3 has the updates on the tank overlay and the Euro 250R logo.

A buddy directed me to a place that he says has decent free websites, so I threw something together at www.aavinyl.webs.com - feel free to check it out. I hope no one minds, but I snagged a couple of the pics from this thread just to throw up real quick to show the Euro 250R logo installed and the tank graphics. I need to find some time to get some more pics together and I want to put together a Ninja 250R page - hopefully I can get something done in the next few weeks or so.

mike_sema · October 12th, 2009, 06:19 PM

Kevin did a real nice job on them

I looked these pics over before I placed them. I liked right over the turn sigs, instead of just before... Maybe these are a tad longer, Still real close

added a pic, just because there all green LOL:

kevins_garage · October 17th, 2009, 07:16 PM

I got some new vinyl colors in yesterday - purple, teal, and the closest match I could find to a Kawi green.

karlita · October 20th, 2009, 03:30 PM

Hey I had emailed you before.
So now you can do the silver250 and green R?

That's a go!

Just e-mail me with what you want - kevins_garage@yahoo.com

kkim · October 20th, 2009, 06:38 PM

hmmm... how close if the kawi green match? would it cover up the tank lettering and make the tank look like a solid color?

It's a close enough match to fool the eye if it were going on say a black bike as an accent color, but maybe not a close enough match if put directly on a green bike - I was going off pics to match it up and every pic I had was a slightly different hue.

I'll drop a pair in the mail to you within the next day or so and you can let me know how close a match it is when you get them.

kkim · October 21st, 2009, 11:37 AM

Thank you, Kevin. That would be appreciated and I will post some pics for feedback. The only thing better than your products is the customer service you provide.

mike_sema · October 22nd, 2009, 09:08 PM

Man Kevin thanks for the decals I will post pics when I have them all installed, and the island chains look sweet and thanks for the extras

Zero260 · October 27th, 2009, 03:29 PM

Nice decals
Just sent you an order Kevin

tiburonsita · November 6th, 2009, 10:56 PM

Thank you

I like the lowkey look. You can see it up close or at the right angle but from afar it looks all solid.

now I just need to figure out how to >remove< that exhaust sticker without any damage.

Zero260 · November 7th, 2009, 06:43 AM

Thanks Kevin,

Got my decals yesterday. They are perfect!
I will put them on this weekend and post some pics.

some pictures of the green vinyl on lime green. Like Kevin said, it's close, but not an exact match. close enough that it would look like kawi green on other color 250s... you know, as in trying to make yours faster.

Thanks, Kevin. I'm working on finding time to install the other decals I ordered from you. They look great! Mahalo!!

Green the colour of a frog, black the colour of a panther. I can't think of any green animal that is fast......black on the other hand

kkim · November 10th, 2009, 03:48 PM

nothing to do with animals... everything to do with tuned engines in the green bikes.

Dude! That looks really nice

Now you need to ditch the red on the rims

Zero260 · November 12th, 2009, 07:26 PM

It finally stopped raining, here is the pic. I love the way it turned out.

mike_sema · November 12th, 2009, 07:27 PM

Nice!

P.S. I just set up a forwarding email account for you at that address; an email sent to the address on that decal will automatically be forwarded to your real email address. Should be up and running in <5 minutes...

kkim · November 15th, 2009, 04:06 PM

lol... thanks, Alex. It works!!

Tigress · December 29th, 2009, 03:00 AM

Thanks for the decals Kevin. I wanted to bump this up so it doesn't get lost.

Try a Bamboo Viper---It is Kawi Green and Very Fast--Ask me how I know?

Sailariel · December 29th, 2009, 06:03 PM

Kelly, Looks real sharp. I took all those hokey decals off my bike and just left the black Kawi and Ninja decals. I did add an "EX 250R" decal where your Ninja decal is. My Ninja decal is where your EX 250R decal is. I also dropped my fog lights at the low point on the fork. Will send pics. when I borrow a camera. Before I forget, Have you ever tried Liquid Glass polish? I used to use it on my show Corvette but have not seen the stuff around. Found some the other day and used it on the Ninja. The bike looks like it was dipped in clearcoat. It`s incredible stuff---not a wax. It is a bit pricey, $16.95 a pint--but a little goes a long way. Dirt literally rinses off using a spray bottle. On the `Vette, I never used car wash--just rinsed with water and dried with a chamois.

kkim · December 29th, 2009, 07:41 PM

Alex,

I have used liquid glass before and coincidentally it was recommended by a vette' owner. I didn't like how it was hard to work with sometimes, so I eventually changed.

My latest wax/polish is a product called Rejex... very easy to use, slick finish and spectacular glossiness when coated a few times.

I have found, whatever you happen to have is the best... as long as you use it regularly.

grn09segirl · December 30th, 2009, 11:56 AM

Kevin,

Love the green shirt in post #97, New to website how can I order one.

Thanks, that was just a quick mockup in MSPaint though. I've done a few with the actual "Ninja" text instead and various 250R and other stuff on the sleeves that matches the bike graphics.

If you want one, just e-mail directly at kevins_garage@yahoo.com or through my site at www.aavinyal.webs.com
