Been busy at work today adding the Japanese Imperial flag to my roof, all painted on didn't take too long and really pleased with results.
What do you think?

And a pic of the roof of my last bongo, also painted on in case anyone didnt see it.

Looks really good.

Is this DIYable with spray cans or was this a professional job, looks like you are in a spray shop?

Nice one! Any jobs at your place mate! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I prefer the Daktari look on the old one but they are very nice. Been looking around for some vinyl sides for mine like your roof.

Don't bother with some of the others, as there's someone out there copying his designs...maybe not up to the same standards from what's been written....and there's another Forum member in Cornwall...Forum name "Samuel" who does decals.....try the west country section on here ....Anyway...contact them and ask...you won't be disappointed either way!
Here's some that Cabte did for the side:

It is a diy job using aerosols and a good bit masking, but I work at a college teaching spraypainting, bodywork, vehicle damage assessment and electric vehicle repair, so when I need any jobs doing it's not usually a problem.

Hi
Jump in through the windows?????...not at my age, dearie!...I wish!...Anyway...I have a solar panel to fit before the next season, so I'll have to get a smaller flag for the front of the roof. The paintwork is all different, now, as I've sprayed it holographic red-blue metalflake , to match the lower half gunmetal and chrome metalflake....and ....errr...modified the interior somewhat, and a few additions under the bonnet....soon be the other car's turn :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers

Go for it Carl, I used your idea you can certainly use mine. I painted it as a lad who owed me a favour was going to supply me the vinyl to make it up but as usual it never materialised so Out came the masking tape and aerosols.
I was gonna contact you about some auto free top stickers for the roof sides, fancy them in red or black.
