Misting the surface of the window first with water prior to application aids in removing the graphic if repositioning is required. Once the surface was ready, I removed the white opaque backing from the Punisher Logo appliqué.

The adhesive side of the Punisher Logo appliqué is applied to the acrylic surface of the window. A plastic squeegee is used to flatten out the surface of the graphic as well as remove any trapped air bubbles. The last step is to remove the transfer backing very slowly in order to not ruin the applied graphic.

I was very impressed with the new and improved coloured Shattered Web appliqués and did notice a few small trapped pockets of air in the design. The instructions explicitly advise against poking holes in the design to get rid of the bubbles. The best recommendation is waiting a few days and the bubbles will be gone after the adhesive dries. To finish off this review, I placed a 10" blue neon tube behind the side panel to see how well the Punisher Logo would look against natural light. Under good lighting conditions the appliqué does give the window a perfect etched look and appearance. The nice part about this package is that no expensive tools were required for this simple modification and installation was completed in less than 10 minutes.
 
Conclusion:

The Shattered Web Colour Window Appliqués have added another dimension for eager case modders who are looking for new options for personalizing their computer cases. One of the benefits of these window appliqués is that they are available from a stock catalogue or can be customized for creation. The appliqués are available in various sizes and come in a wide variety of colours to suit any case theme. The best part about this product is the price which still remains affordable paralleled with great customer service. I didn't find any negative aspects using these products aside from the slight annoyance of air bubbles trapped in the design. This is to be expected and as previously mentioned the air bubbles disappear with time. Overall, I am really impressed with this product and rate the new coloured appliqués a 9.5 out of 10. I would definately recommend this product for those individuals that want to add a personalized touch to any modified computer case. If you have any questions regarding this review be sure to visit the Shattered Web website for more information or discuss them in our forums.
