Two options:
1. Go to vistaprint.com and make a bumper sticker with those flowers. Cut them out, and you've got flower stickers.
2. Go to officedepot and buy full sheet white shipping labels, print the flowers at home, cut them out, boom - flower stickers. This one has the downside of not being water proof, though. Inkjet printed stuff will bleed as soon as water touches it. There's a hack for that too, though. Before you cut out the flowers, cover them with clear packing tape. Then cut them out. Not an ideal solution, but still decent.

Antoine, I had mentioned in a previous post that you should have a screen printer do your flower power logo. Next week I’m headed to a friends shop to help him out so I can snap a pic of his logo and send it to you if you would like. A screen printed logo won’t cost much at all and they can do it as a stick on with a clear background.

Do you strip the paint on the machine before painting it? Or do you keep layering it?

Antoine

What ever method you use to remove the over spray, I would do it sooner than later while the paint is still soft.

What Electroluxxxx was asking above was do you strip or remove the old paint before applying the new paint, or do you just paint over the existing paint. Billy

Bumper

lesinutah's profile picture
It only comes in black. If you boil it and get it hot it's easier to put on.
I do believe c9 high end machines were blue must like c-80.
I like the paint.
Gas will get the paint off. If you want to try that.

Nice

They don't have the white bumper anymore. Tristar didnt have it and sweeper guys on eBay had one which I ordered.
I'm digging the paint job looks like original blue.

away. I had a chance to get a complete aqua one with the tools and the box.
$12.00 When I went back to get it, it naturally was gone. I have gotten non-Hoover items for others who would enjoy them.
There are photos of some of them in an old post about one of my Halloween "Monster Mash Bashes'.
