vinyl on my reflectors :)

I looked around to purchase painted reflectors,
but then I figured that we could easily do this with vinyls.

I bought glossy black vinyl and just DIY it!
took me 5 minutes literally,

cutter knife + my nails + vinyl = voila

*stick it on, use nails to go around it and it gets cut automatically
maybe around the corners you may need a cutter knife slightly

got mine at nextmod in markham, but you can probably buy it in any sign or graphic stores. i paid $20 for about 3ft x 6ft.. which i thought was little expensive but whatever i could use the rest to cover my number plate boarders and all
