    Reflectorizing, comments please...

    I got some reflectorized stickers from an auto shop and tried it on my E-Mag, It's actually suppose to be bright red, but since it's reflectorized, the flash made it glow so it looks bright orange. I will try to take a picture during the day to show the real color.

    Anyway, I was hoping you guys could suggest any other ways off putting it on to make the design better. I was planning to put flames on it, I will update the pic when I get it done.

    The nice thing about this, is that the sticker really clings to the surface so it does not come off easy, but if I get tired of the color or just want to put it back to how it originally was, there is a certain way to take it off without scratching the marker or any of it's parts. Another thing is that it provides a protective coating to the areas that you stick it on.

      Cheap and easy...

      ScoobYSnax:

      It's actually red, the camera flash made the reflector glow orange, although it is available in other colors. I got it from an auto supply.

      It only cost me around 40 Philippine Pesos to buy two feet of sticker that is about half a foot in width, which roughly translates to around 80cents in US Dollars.

      Not really that difficult to do, just takes a little getting used to to stick it on.

          ScoobYSnax :

          We just call it reflector sticker here in the Philippines. It is readily available at most auto supply shops or bicycle stores in our country. I would not honestly know if it is available at the same type of shops in the U.S..

          And thanks for the complement...

              Not a flame but...

              Being 1/2 filipino myself, I just KNEW it would take another one to think of this. I was just about to ask if you were when I looked at your location.

                I covered one of my old mags with a similiar type of stuff a few years ago. I used some vinyl from the sign shop where I work. I comes in thousands of colors including metallics, chrome, holographic, carbon fiber and chameleon. If you go to a local sign shop and ask if you can buy some scrap. We go throw away enough at work to cover 50 or so mags a day.

                          I play indoors mostly, but how reflective is that stuff. If its really reflective someone might notice it as you crawl up the field.
