Cannot find Vinyl ANYWHERE ! please help !

Im trying to black vinyl my bowties .. I've checked almost everywhere. Walmart, Pep boys (said might have in larger stores) and a fabric and art supply store.. Does anyone know where exactly I could find this car vinyl, they keep on bringing me to the vinyl you put over a table...

Numerous vendors sell it precut for the bowties. I think I found mine on ebay.

I got the pre-cut vinyl on ebay and its really a pain in the rear to get the lines matched up while get the wrinkles out. If you find a sheet of vinyl the install is a lot easier because you can stretch and pull the vinyl and after heating it up with a heat gun, you can trace the emblem with a razor. NO BUBBLES!

AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts both sell a roll with a spreader for 8 bucks. 6" x 6' roll, in all kinds of colors.
