My first decal application (self-defense, aka visibility)
Self-shaped, cut from a 2"x36" strip of 3M retroreflective tape. (Not very) sorry for the size:

Nice.
I'd be too tempted to cut out "Don't Hit Me" or something :P |

I think you're right. I wasn't ready to try making those curves out of a straight tape line, but I'll find some white reflective rim tape and complete the job.
BTW a tip I found on the net really does work; applying a soapwater solution first allows one to adjust the placement &/or bend slightly around curved surfaces and then work out bubbles from the center outward. |

These are the ones i got
http://www.ebay.com/itm/380321333868...84.m1497.l2649 They come with 2 full extra strips in case u mess up. As for the soapy water thing i just used rubbing alcohol to clean the rim and it let me peel it back and re do it when i messed up |
