Custom Decals for custom paintjobs

**zooter** · 13th March 2005, 23:33

Motu, your tank has creases in it which make nasty ( in my opinion ) ripples in lettering. No doubt there are factory "splashy" graphics for the tank which fit the curves of the creases. That kind of stuff is a bit tricky for me to do from long range.
To me the acerbis logo is a distraction so deserves to go. If you were handy with filler/paint maybe you could fill the recesses around the acerbis and paint the tank so there was a nice flat section to put a nice big YAMAHA through there. Above that a tuning fork badge and below a big sweeping XT ( too bad about the tank ripple , not so noticeable with italiccy custom lettering anyway)
If you didn't want to mess around with panel and paint I'd still yank the ascerbis logo, unfortunately my art brain has left the building for the night so I'm not in design mode for splashy stuff to go on

Hi Zooter,

Can you do cut vinyl decals?

Something like below:

That's exactly what he is talking about. Or I can.

I wasn't sure if he meant a printed solid colour over a clear base or individually cut bits of coloured vinyl. The design above wouldn't work well on a clear base, too much open space.

oh you are right....except print only needed if colour blends or fuzzy shadows are in the graphic

I'm after the large Kawasaki logo that goes on the bottom of my side fairings.

Its about 30cms long.

How much would it cost for 6 of these in grey. Can you do Metallic grey or mirror??

I can do for about $40. Any colour you like but I don't recommend Chrome look as the polyester it is made of doesn't last well outdoors.

MSTRS, OI, can't a man have a night off internet without someone hijacking his advert? Get your own thread.
BUNGBUNG. Team pie racing as it appears in felt pen is kind of funky but can be reproduced. It wont take much raaaking up mind you. If you want graphic design I do that also. All my graphics are cut vinyl. Multi coloured ones supplied assembled ready to go on.
HOON, Ive Pm'd you my a/c details, just need your address. Silver metallic grey best fit for you methinks, MSTRS is quite correct about the polyester shiny silver stuff, not outdoor durable

Nah, besides wasn't a quoted reply. All's fair in love & the pursuit of a dodgy income. In saying re polyester, there is a PVC 7yr version of chrome available now, but it is very expensive.

**bungbung** · 18th March 2005, 14:06

How much experience with pies do you have?

**bungbung** · 18th March 2005, 14:57

Zooter, I've turned the felt pennage into an illustrator file and smoothed itout a bit, is that good for you?

PM me your email and I'll send the file and my details.

Cheers

Ola

Can you put vinlys over the stock stickers and take them off leaving the original stickers intact? I want to cover the pink cbr stickers, and my Dad won't let me get rid of them as it will ruin resale value so I can't just take them off

Yes, but no-damage removal only with luck, unless the originals have been cleared over. Feel the edges & you will know.
