Racing stripe sizing

Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a program that has templates of cars that'll help with measurements of racing stripes, instead of hand measuring

If you can get a good picture of the actual car - high resolution - straight on and in sharp focus - and take a measurement of a feature you can use to resize the picture to actual size in your design program you can use it to make full size designs right on the car.  It may require a tweak and recut (maybe several times) - but using one of the vehicle outline collections doesn't get any better results in my opinion.

 

I bought a collection on eBay a couple of years ago - and used it a couple of times before learning that you can use a picture and get better results.

It also lets you show the customer how the design will look on his/her vehicle.
