I can make stickers *PIC*

Post by n20capri »

So I went a bit crazy and bought a vinyl plotter. First up was a center cap for MY aftermarket wheels...this one is 2.25" across.

I have custom centers now but it's just regular Arial font not the real thing...the pic below is my first attempt. The textured bumps are from the transfer paper and aren't there anymore. They will also get a clear cover for protection.

I pulled the center caps off the stock wheels (I have 2 different types!?!?!) so I can start making replacement art for them...they are a bit smaller...just under 2"...1.8125" to be exact. I will post pics of them when complete.

Next up will be the hood and trunk lettering and then the windshield banner on my car.

I'd like to start making other 4-eyed fox graphics too.

I can do anything custom as well...any ideas????

That's pretty cool. How much does one of those run?

FYI, Hank will sell pieces of the striping/decal kit if needed. I got a dash and I think 2 hood decals (maybe 1 I'd have to check) for like $20 shipped or something reasonable. Remember....don't bite the hand that feeds you....

Remember to be careful of licensing issues. Not sure if you are doing this for fun or for profit but if it's for profit, keep it low key if you're doing licensed logos and such. I know Saleen goes after many people, even small fry.

One item needed to be done are the Marchal foglights. That name is held by Sylvania I think now...Marchal was bought and sold several times in the last 20 years. The chances of Sylvania coming after people is probably slim...they probably don't even know they have the name.

The little cat symbols for the lenses and the cover logos would be cool.

Do these things need to be cutout or does the machine do that for you? Can headlight knob "headlight" logos be made? Or is the material too thick. The headlight knobs have dried up and I bet many people would like to have their worn off logo replaced.

The machine cuts it out for me...I have to create the art though...I will work on the cat and headlight text.

Any high res pics of the cat/logo with a ruler would be great...lol :)

Which logo? I have a steering wheel with it but not a center cap.

So which machine did you get? I am curious as I have seen many people buy these lately.

Cool machine! I like toys like that.

I'd like three sets for the wheels :)

I think of the vert is says "5.0 SC" I'll have to look later this week when it is out of the spa.
