    Need a tree

    Need a couple different trees to use for a Landscaping logo. Searched google and so on but only find x-mas trees and dead looking ones. Not a good image for this type of work.

    can you post the link? can't find it. Thanks.
  6. hey can you measure the thickness of the stripes for him. Then he can make his own.
  7. firemalt, when you take off the weed each it keeps the cutter from moving the vinyl to make the box around it. If you try a cut a couple different ways, with the weed each off sometimes it cuts in a differen't manner or way. Might just be me, or just to many drinks.

    Show car Decal

    I like the plaque idea. I want to use my website www.showaride.com and add show ride or something with an image. posted site decal and want something that's not just for cars. Any ideas? Terry, I like yours that you posted but trying to stay away form the flags, not a big hit in my area.

    Donate graphics

    Terry, Do you have any other show vechicles decals? Something for the newer guys with out V8's or drag racers?
  11. as long as you match the font, or aleast to what you like the stripes are up to you to decide on. I would say they are 1" to 2" thick for small ones and double that for the big one. Make it they way you want it. Doesn't hurt to be differen't
  12. Guys I had the same problem. * try feeding vinyl to see if tracking is off. use the ruler and watch if it goes left or right. adjust and try again. * type of vinyl? I have a problem with really gloss and metalized vinyl. (brushed chrome) * check graphics * which holder is the blade in? needs to be in the back one * take the weed each off. * dont weed anything might help on big graphics * set SB to least movement to help

    looking for a Metallic vinyl

    I dont undrestand why there is no orange or yellow metallic. All it is a color with sparkle. who posted that a company had a over lay that made any color metallic? Would love to try it.

    looking for a Metallic vinyl

    ok, they dont have a true orange or yellow, but he isnt looking for plain orange. I think he might have to try getting color charts. try www.signsupply.com they have a brand called FDC who have some different metallic colors. How about reflectice?

    Grand Prix inserts

    I guess I could have explained that a little better huh. You are pretty much on it Eric. the rear bumper and front license plate cover have he word "PONTIAC" inset into them. I am looking for the graphic so I can cut the decals to put in them. I have tried to take what is on BOTW and other sites and make them work, but I just cant get the fitment right. thanks for the link showaride Thanks Todd I would try the font from my other link. Might be a gapping issue. Wish I could help more but haven't done it yet. Might have to now to see if I can find a easy way to do it.

    Wet ApplicationS?

    the basic white one. I dont see what the difference is with the other ones. What is best for doing curve apps like cars, backwindows and show on?

    Grand Prix inserts

    my brother bought these years ago, I belive all it is a metalic vinyl to shine cool from the light and glow kinda at night. I as remember that they dont match up perfect. GTP covered good but the Pontiac inlay was a little to big. I would say measure and cut, test to see if to big or small and adjust, test fit again and save the size that works best. Also try this for the pontiac font http://www.autofonts.com/

    first wall d

    will share mine when she get's it. I think the end of the month when she goes. From what I see it's 3 or 4 differnt fonts with sayings and some 2 color layered graphics. All simple and easy but they charge alot for something.
