skarekrow 1,842 Posted January 4, 2014 True Louis but, sounds like the OP wants to make accurately sized cover-ups for car and truck badges/ emblems. Same process as one would use to do the archery case you mocked-up. Using a photo as a scale template. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey 252 Posted January 7, 2014 1 way to do it would be take a pic of it straight on of your emblem. Load it into your design software and then scale to actual size. Then just use that as your template. Id say just find the emblem online but there may be slight differences. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put a ruler or measuring tape next to your emblem when you take the picture - then scale it so 1" = 1" in your design software. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DNA_Vinyl 262 Posted January 8, 2014 I used a caliper from work. worked like a charm. Now I tried to do a chevy bow tie...not easy at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
