The bubbles will likely stay there when dry. But they're very easy to remove and reapply. It's best to get the bubbles out when wet, which is where the squeegees come in handy.

Home Depot has the plastic squeegees in the paint department, because they're ideal for applying spackle in sheet rock repair.

Looks great for track day, but.....I have to concur with the crowd. Adding tramp stamps just detracts from her naturally beauty.

However, your money, your car. If you like it, do it.

Vinyl Wrap it properly and get the correct font for the '7' and it'll look great.
This looks cheap, cos it is but I admire the creativity.

I'm thinking about going this direction:

Cos I like it and thats all that matters.

FYI, its snow/urban camo, not desert. (Iraq is in the desert).

I am quite sure, but who knows?

Does he have a camo wrap on his V8?

I am kind of digging that red stripe. But continue it down the hood and maybe part way to the back of the car. The meatball looks kind of cool. But the camo look is too much. I would go for a zebra kind of pattern before I picked the camo. As long as it is removable, you should have fun with it. It kind of gives personality to the car. Have fun!

You have my applause just for the sheer sense of fun you're applying to your car. Would I do it? No (although the white on white meatball actually looks pretty good). But the F Type is all about putting a smile on your face, and your pics put a smile on my face! Have fun, I say - go for it!

Justin Bieber would have his wrapped in chrome (he did it to a Fisker Karma that blinded everybody in the LA sun). I'm going more for the vintage/classic racing look/livery (the Jag heritage logo and the meatball number). I'm thinking a Silk Cut or Castrol decals maybe...

It was a silly joke. I hope you didn't take any offense.

She recently did a R8 in desert camouflage.

This would be interesting, and if you didn't like it easily removed.
