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.

You can also get "application tape" in about 1m wide rolls.... cheaper than the vinyl. check it out .... its like masking tape but 1m wide
