Canta….. sounds a lot like a rude word.
And I have used a few recently.
Started the vinyl on the two A-Pillars.
Removing the door frame beads made it easier to get a tidy finish.
Contact glue is industrial strength, and goes off in a minute in the summer heat.
If it touches, it stays.
Tucked in on returns and around the edges, then trimmed with a blade.
Happy so far.
At this point, I just wanted to point out to all those who have not tried to do this job, specifically on a ****a, this is what you have to work with and cover.
Also loads of badly joined and riveted panels.
NOW I KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE CARPETING, USED IN CAMPER VANS ETC………..
USED SOME IN THE REZIN ROCKIT.
But the vinyl is paid for, and when I started, I was not aware just how badly some surfaces would be, and the havoc it would create for me.
This sort of thing.
So I carried on, piece by piece, and had to ditch most of my plans for more complex pieces, cut in one, in fact, even having to modify some by cutting them up into smaller sections that were manageable.
So that was Saturdays progress, if you can call it progress.
Sunday I started early.
Thinking I would complete the two sides and rear tailgate frame.
Ohhh how wrong could I be.
This section worked pretty well.
Making me quite optimistic.
Result.
Then the next, big section……
Thought it could be a one piece.
But you need to be an octopus, with more than two hands to hold and lay the vinyl down.
So I cut the one piece into more manageable pieces.
Coffee break between each piece to calm down nd regroup my swearing words for the next.
Eventually I made it this far.
One side done.
I hated it.
So I shut shop and pushed the hateful thing away into its corner for another day.
Video not great, but with added Timelapse, shows my pain.

More of this horrible little thing another day.
Got matches and petrol?
