Before i go ahead and start respraying i want to see how something looks and figure that using white vinyl would be the way to go. I realise that there will be edges etc but at this stage i'm more interested in the whole look and if it's worth doing.
So my question is where can i buy suitable white vinyl from in Sydney , preferably in large lengths and width's ?????

yeah i just tryed a similar thing.First i went to the local$2 shop and bought some cheap contacty type book covering.Kinda worked but ripped easily and could only be applied once.(no repositioning)
So then i went to local sign shop and bought some strechy,thicker type vinyl stuff.
hope this helps.

Try the local sign-writing shop, they may even give you some off-cuts for nothing....

If you want to reposition sticky vinyl, use a spray bottle with water and a little detergent in it to spray the area. Makes it easy to lift and shift to different spot before final positioning.
