I bought a sheet of white magnets with MartyMarGSR today and was wondering what a good way of getting the numbers and letters on the magnet. Just wondering how you guys got your number and class on your magnets

I had a vinyl shop cut out the numbers and letters and then you could just put them on the magnets.

Damn good idea. I was thinking of cuttin stencils and then painting them onto the magnets. But it seems like the vinyl one sounds like it'll turn out better :exnbp: Thanks meng

Was the panel you put it on clean? I cleaned mine a bit before putting them on and made sure the magnet was clean. Works like a charm

yeah i washed and waxed my car the day before, but part of it might have been i pushed my tires too hard and took out a few (3-5) cones on my first run, but on my remaining 4 runs i only lost more letter leaving me in the end with 5 out of 11

I just printed out some numbers, taped them over the magnetic sheet, and cut. Then I painted them. They turned out really well.

No, the paper and tape was only temporary so that I could cut the magnetic sheet in the shape of the number.
