Hey guys..figure I'd share a rather easy way to having a universal background..and really cheap!cost me 4 bucks on eBay.basically it is adhesive vinyl (the same material they use for back window decals)and the only thing needed to install it is a credit card as a squeegee.for years I been painting the back (doing the same thing as the majority has been doing )which is such a pain having to tape off everything....only to wish you didn't cause you want a different color.
