Neuromax 97 Posted May 3, 2015 I just did a quick outline with the polyline tool in Signblazer but the same tool in any program should work. Only took about a minute. Keep in mind the photo is very small low resolution so it may not follow the lines of the car perfectly. Its kind of hard to see how round/square some of the corners are on the car.

Macon Innovations 228 Posted May 3, 2015 El Design's method worked great and cut perfectly.....Thank you.......Now which one do you think looks better? 1 or 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
security802 686 Posted May 3, 2015 #1 and glad it worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TauntDevil 19 Posted May 3, 2015 I think #2 will look better in multiple colors but would recommend a different font and removing the www. portion of the link. Just my $0.02. Looks good though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted May 3, 2015 Just curious... It says "...TRUCK.com" Why does the graphic depict a car? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMopar64 47 Posted May 3, 2015 #2 you loose the roll bar so it looks more like a sedan... MM64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted May 3, 2015 Because it is indeed a truck. The section that you are thinking is a back window is a roll bar....It was only produced from 2003 to 2006 and have a big fan club now that they are no longer made.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted May 3, 2015 The side profile is the only way to tell them apart from the outbacks....From the front they look identical.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted May 3, 2015 I guess that's a truck too? (the Outback?) (sorry, I'm old school and don't have much respect for new cars.... erm, I mean trucks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macon Innovations 228 Posted May 3, 2015 The outback doesn't have a truck bed.....The baja has a small functional truck bed.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KYSIGN 233 Posted May 4, 2015 It looks like a yellow taxi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted May 4, 2015 Yup...looks like a sedan to me too. Had to go back & look at the original photo....even that looks like a sedan at just a glance. Loses the "truck" look completely in the outlining. I wouldn't use it that way. Sue2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vector 8 Posted May 4, 2015 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 4, 2015 I took EL's svg and slashed a couple places to show the bed better. I didn't have much time to spare this morning and it could use more fine tuning with the shape but might help define the model a little. baja 2.svg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vector 8 Posted May 5, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
