my question is wouldnt the vinyl stick too well to the base leaving the possibility of lifting the base coat when you go to un mask every thing? Or is there a vinyl out there just for this type of job?

These guys say they have done it but I am sure they don't do it all the time. It would be safer to use .008" mini-flake instead of the regular .015" I have planned.

They do make a special material for this type of work. I believe it's called 'masking' paper that they would need to use. Not standard vinyl.

Yes. The shop is making the masks out of the special material. Hopefully it wont lift off the fresh paint.

No worries, the proper stuff will not harm the fresh paint.

Ok. After a bit of a delay the van finally made it into the paint booth yesterday. The graphics are next and then the clear. I haven't seen it yet and only have pics from when it was in the booth but the color looks crazy good to me.
