Hey , how about just tape off the stripe and plasti dip it! seen you mentioned doing it to the bumper haha
-
Came here to see small stuff also haha
Really like that stencil looking one
How many colors? I think I see chrome in there
-
Yea I don't see a problem with that , not the same font and and the hills are not the same style , but from far away people might think it's the steakhouse haha

Figured I should introduce myself a little
I have been making decals for 5 years now , I actually lurked around this site my 1st year and haven't been back since.
Back now, this time decided to join the forum
Guess you can call me Vector
My main tool of destruction is SignBlazer , very first thing I used and can do anything on it.
I recently started using Inkscape for image vectoring and then import to SignBlazer.
But yea that's about it for me Looking forward to sharing some work
and talk about vinyl with you guys!

Here's my shot at it (screenshot from SB)
1st one is the final , the other is just for the heck of it , it's tracing where the plastic(?) body is but then blocks the space for text
Lemme know if you want the sb file
[EDIT] Oops just read that you are looking for a thin outline , i'll make that edit
in a sec .
just tried to do it but it makes it harder to tell what vehicle it is , I think just punching the text through the car is the way to go

The bed rack thing looks like a backglass now which really makes it looks like a taxi more than anything.
I would mess around with the design some so you can really tell what car it is from a quick look , maybe just cut the features that really sets the truck apart. Like remove everything (windows and lights) and leave the bed side rail things punched out?

Wildgoose deserves a medal

Dang yea that sucks. 3d printing does sound fun but also seems like I would get bored of it real quick haha
Macon , why did you have to add upgrades?
-
I think 50" is overkill , I use one and I don't think I'll ever need that width ever.
Good point Dakota! haha never had to make something that big , does sound like a job if I had to apply it!

Turned out great!

(He notes that the enclosure is ventilated, because of) "micro particles of cancer-causing abs material, which I didn't want floating in the air in my living room"Haha I noticed that ,
When you get your 3d printer in , print up more 3d printers!

Yup, got mine to work with cutter setting Copam 2500 and messed with the baud rate and 9600 did the trick for me

Nice! I would have done the same and just cut at the creases on the bumper thingy

Nice! , Really like the detail on the "Falconer" one

Has anyone had any luck using SB on a Table Titan? I searched the forum and found a post about how to for a Titan 2 and I tried that and it seems like SB sent the "command" but my cutter didn't do anything
I have done a test cut through inkscape so I know the cutter works , just really love SB and would hate to move on to SureCutsalot

Nice work!
The blue looks great! and knifeless tape? What is this witchcraft haha , cool!
-
What E L Design said ^
Just try to find the closest fonts that resemble the phrase and wing it from there
I always try to avoid auto tracing text because most of the time the outcome isn't great

Nice , really liking the gloss on flat combo!

in General discussion

I was thinking the same thing lol, that water was steaming and it only changed it for a moment then back to normal.
Would be cool if the slightest warmth would change it.
