£80 what the hell?

We had planned from the outset to have the Castrol Rally graphics on the car, or at least as close as we could get with a some red and green paint a roller and some paint brushes, and seriously that was the original plan.

However as the car had continually come in under budget and everything we had done to it had worked well and looked good we realised that we could almost justify spraying the graphics on with aerosol or even Marcs paint gun. If we could mask the shapes any sense.

We batted the prospect of masking the shapes and buying the Castrol stickers back and forth for weeks, with occasional Ebay and Google searches throwing up kits for around £250, we did find one for around £80 but it just seemed to good to be true on price and the colours seemed to be wrong, but after pricing up the individual Castrol and Toyota stickers we decided that £80 was worth a punt to get the writing and if the colour of the shapes was wrong? Well we would just need to paint our own any way. How hard could it be?
