\nThis is what the roof lining of my VW T4 looked like almost two years ago when I bought the van: dull, standard, generic, grey and all round generally lame…<\/p>\n
<\/a> <\/a> I’ll admit stickerbombing is a bit marmite and I can see why, done well it looks awesome but done poorly it does look a bit rubbish. Personally I much prefer it on the interior than the exterior of a vehicle, on the outside the weather etc plays its toll and within a short time it can look dull and scruffy. I know you can lacquer it up to protect it, but that stops the stickerbomb being evolved and added to over time, which in my opinion is half the fun.<\/p>\n Don’t even get me started on the stickerbomb vinyl sheets<\/a data-imagelightbox=\"g\"> and hydro-dipping that people are using more and more nowadays. Call me a stickerbomb purist, but you’ve got to use individual stickers and build it all up yourself, otherwise what’s the point in even bothering. Vinyl and dipping isn’t stickerbombing – it’s lies.<\/p>\n <\/a> The way to make stickerbombing look good, is all to do with technique. As you can see I’ve had a fair bit of practice, so here are my words of wisdom, here is my top tips for awesome sticking:<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n I know that fans of stickerbombing have awesome taste so I’m going to shamelessly plug a really cool brand of sunglasses called SunGod (you can see their site by clicking here)<\/a> or you can read my SunGod review here<\/a>. Honestly, check them out, they’re way cheaper than RayBans and Oakleys, plus they look and perform better and are way, way tougher.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is what the roof lining of my VW T4 looked like almost two years ago when I bought the van: dull, standard, generic, grey and all round generally lame… This is what it looks like now: Sticker Art AKA Stickerbombing I’ll admit stickerbombing is a bit marmite and I can see why, done well it looks awesome but done poorly it does look a bit rubbish.

\n <\/p>\nHow To Sticker Bomb<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\nI decided to do the beaten up, seat-back table in my VW Transporter. To do this I first removed the handle and filled the holes, cracks and scratches with body filler. You remove the table back from the chair by unscrewing two screws at the base and two on the sides (all hidden by plastic covers). I then got bombing, to cover the curves and bends (which are tricky) I chose the higher quality vinyl type stickers I had or used smaller stickers which I cut up. Trying to get a big paper sticker to go over a curved object is pretty hard, if not impossible.<\/p>\n
\n
\nMuch better after a few stickers, right?<\/p>\n

\nI Absolutely love stickerbombing, I like how I can keep adding stickers from my travels and it’s always evolving and getting better. It’s great for everyone who has a ride in the van to be staring at the ceiling when they first get in, trying to taking it all in. Here are some more close up photos of bits of my roof lining.<\/p>\n
