[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 91265, member: 2768"] OK, so once I marked the paper and cut it I then laid the paper on top of the magnetic sheeting, taped the edges to hold the paper in place and then I started cutting the magnetic sheeting. It cuts pretty easily and smoothly in straight lines - not so smoothly on the curves. Once I cut the magnetic sheeting to size I had to test fit it on the truck. Note: I took a small piece of magnetic sheeting and tried it on the truck and it stuck OK but I was a bit concerned about its "stickiness". Not to worry - when I took a large cut sheet over to the Raptor flesh and it got near the metal the sheeting zzzzzzzipped onto the skin and stuck nicely. No more worries about the sheeting sticking to the Raptor. Of course there is an issue on the front fenders since they're not metal the magnetic sheeting doesn't stick. Cutting sheeting using the paper patterns (templates) - magnetic side up. [ATTACH=full]179486[/ATTACH] The good news is the paper patterns can be used for both sides of the Raptor. Simply flip the pattern over but <caution> when you do that, don't lose track of what's going on and flip the magnetic sheeting over too. If you do that you'll end up cutting two of the same (don't ask me how I know that :D ). Here's the large sheets in place (magnetics only) before final trimming to size: [ATTACH=full]179487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]179488[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
