adjusting artwork for convex/concave windows

Recommended Posts

Anyone have any pointers on creating artwork so that the design doesn't have that bowed look when applying to a convexed window.  It's a topic i've never really tackled.  I'm thinking old school and getting some paper and masking tape and somehow putting that on the window and measuring/creating a stencil.  I don't have the $$ for Pro Vehicle Outlines although if anyone has a template of a 2015 Dodge Journey they want to share, that would kick ass.

Thanks

1. Measure the width of the window at the top corners.

2. run a string between the top corners of the window and measure the distance from it to the window.(measure in the middle)

Use these 2 to create the curve for your text or artwork to follow.

The paper trick you mentioned works pretty good. I watched a garage monkey episode with a jeep that they had some custom decals make and the sign guy showed up with a wide piece of app tape and slapped it on there and drew on it and pulled it back up for a template.
