    3M DiNoc / White Carbon Fiber

    Try this company, XtremeRestylingUSA on ebay there carbon fiber vinyl is awesome! I even used it to wrap bumpers and hoods as well.. Been buying 25"x30 feet rolls from them for $75 bucks for decals,,, I just started getting into this sticker stuff(been having the cutter, but hardly used it) and customers really dig this film. I also agree with you on that 3m dinoc stuff, very hard to weed, pricey, and not very glossy at all, BUT they don't carry white, just a heads up.

    Tracing a Logo with Illustrator CS2

    My son asked me to trace these logos for his car and for the life of me, i can't seem to get it right I spend 3 days already importing it into Illustrator CS2, hitting the "Live Trace" button and nothing.. I am so tired already and was wondering if someone can please guide me on how to clean these up, i read about the sharpie technique and nothing as well, the letters on these logos keep coming out crooked. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you so much and i apologize for bothering, i had this cutter for over 2 years now and played with it here and there with graphics that were already vectorized and ready to cut. Your help will really be appreciate it. Thanks

    If someone does really help me, is it possible to save them for me as an AI file? My cutting program will only allow ai files, so i think. Lol Thank you and God Bless

  7. Im wondering if anyone has tried the Matte Black Greenstar vinyl on any hoods, trunks, or interiors. If anyone has tried it, has it held up pretty good considering its not a cast vinyl?

    first wrap work

    Nice job! We do interior wraps as well, prep takes some time, wrapping is easier when you can take as many small parts out and wrapping them individually, then installing them back. A quick TIP for those wanting to learn how to do this is to buy some cheap vinyl and start playing, your going to mess up a couple a feet or maybe yards like we did, but in the long run it will pay off, we just learned how to wrap not to long ago. Goodluck

    Head Light and Tail Lights Tint

    Ha Ha! Your funny! These are NOT copyrighted nor can you copyrighted them. First do your due diligence before you try to correct someone, seriously please.

    Head Light and Tail Lights Tint

    A good way of doing them is to buy templates that are already made by another seller. You will have to cough up $10 - $30 but in the long run it will pay for itself. Just look around and see what templates you want and start buying them slowly, no rush, it's a slow process.

    LLumar window tint for Headlight / Taillight tint

    Absolutely, i will let you know. I tried that black oracal 8500 transparent and it was hell to put on. We had a hard time stretching it around contour edges, and the black is not glossy at all, looks like a flat black on your lights. Another product that worked very well, but you will lose it during high speeds according to many people is the static cling product. I tried it and it worked well, but it was just to dark for me, and i didn't feel comfortable selling it knowing it's sold in local stores. The cling product can be found in walmart, target, or any auto part store. There are a lot of sellers selling it all over the net, and many people don't even know that they can go get it at a local store.

    LLumar window tint for Headlight / Taillight tint

    Also, im getting some new stuff from overseas, it should arrive in 30 days. Good certified automotive overlays for tails, heads, side markers, brake lights. We ordered some samples a few weeks ago and it's awesome! Very stretchy! We might become there dealer here in the U.S if the price is right.

    LLumar window tint for Headlight / Taillight tint

    Nope, no window tint. Window tint won't conform well to heads and tails. Try xpel or laminx they have the black color your looking for. They have black smoke, blue, yellow and clear i believe.

    Can u id this vinyl?

    I was just going to say that. That definetly looks like a pressure washing damage.
  15. I can't find a supplier that sells 3D carbon fiber. I looked here and the only carbon fiber uscutters has is the carbon 1. Does anyone know where i can buy this at?
  16. There's going to be a SEMA Show in Las Vegas this year, im going to be heading over there with a couple friends, i was told that there will be lot's of vinyl suppliers from around the world and that theres another company thats selling a carbon fiber film similar to 3M's Di-Noc at half the cost! Will see what happens is until till November.. Wish it was sooner....anyways i just got my avery carbon fiber in today from my supplier, that was fast..But i don't like it much, i also ordered some CF1 from here the gun metal one, and ordered some Carbon fiber 2 and carbon fiber 3 i just hope they shipped it out already since im comparing apples to oranges right now, but will see. Thanks again for all your help.

    Any places that sell by the yard or foot?

    Most sign supply stores in my area sell by the yard. If you have any in your area just drop by and ask.
  18. Yes i did see it on there website a while back and did a quick search for a distributor in my area, which is California, and nobody carries it around here, i even asked the sign supply places around here and they were suppose to get back at me and nothing.You think UsCutter can order it for us? It will be nice if they could, i mean they are one of oracals top distributor. Hopefully a uscutter employee can chime in on this.
  19. Can you let us know how well it holds? Thanks Also i went by my suppliers shop and was told to use avery carbon fiber that it's real flexible. I ordered some on the spot so will see how it goes. Thanks to all for your help. Nick
  20. Thanks i checked out a couple websites that have that Di-noc film. It is real pricey! lol I think i'll just go with some other type of flexible carbon fiber vinyl. Thanks i appreciate it. Nick
  21. Thank you! Im going to check it out now. Thank you once again. Nick
  22. Wow your fast! Thanks for the reply! You have been great help to me with all my noobie questions and i really appreciate it. I'll just call a couple suppliers in the morning and see who carries it. Thanks again Nick
  23. So i ran into a listing on ebay with a seller selling regular transparent vinyl for paint protection. My question is.. Can any transparent clear vinyl be used for paint protection? Heres the listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CLEAR-VINYL-Roll-Sheet-Adhesive-PAINT-PROTECTION-24in_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4141fab34dQQitemZ280279823181QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I heard overlaminate is better and user friendly, but man it's pretty pricey.

    Can any transparent vinyl be used for paint protection

    Can you post a link to it? I went on there website and couldn't find the 36"x50 yard for the $120.
  25. Will the oracal 751 matte black cast vinyl work for racing stripes on a car? Sorry for the dumb questions it's just that im not familiar with all these types of vinyl. The only vinyl i know of is the decal vinyl (oracal 651) for stickers. Would appreciate the help. Thanks
