I am looking to get some permanent numbers made for the car, but with so little steel on the car I was wondering what people are using and where to get it. Currently I use blue painter's tape and I'm tire of doing that routine. I see Vette guys with all sorts of stuff stuck on their cars and wonder how they are doing it? Is it permanent? Does it harm the finish if left on? Ideally I'd like to remove the numbers/letters when not racing so don't look like a ricer driving around with a car all stickered up.

We have used the magnetic vinyl. I just cut them out and paint them. I've used vinyl paint, but find regular automotive enamel works well. If you have a specific font you want to use, you can print them out on a printer from your favorite word processor app, and use them as a pattern.
We have a local guy who will also cut numbers and letters or even do the square or meatball 'plaques'. While the static cling vinyl won't last long, the magnetic vinyl won't last for ever either. 7 years' use is really phenomenal. Our current numbers are painted on (dedicated race car), with magentic vinyl for class and co-driver changes. Most 4th Gens do have enough metal on the rear quarter (provided the repairs haven't been too heavy) to hold legal numbers and class letters for most classes. |
