firemalt 10 Posted May 17, 2008 I don't have pictures of the finished product, just yet. The customer is installing the vinyl and said he would send me some pictures when he finishes up. They did a football theme in their newborn son's room, and he was having a hard time finding some stencils in the font used to mark the yardage on a football field. They wanted to put the yard markers at the top on the wall as a border. Hoping that his wife shows her friends and I get some more business out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted May 17, 2008 Good luck fm! I hope it brings more business to you. Be sure to post the pics when you get them. Did you get Oracal 631? Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted May 17, 2008 I think you mean Oracal 341... but no I didn't, all I had was some Oracal 641 and the customer was okay with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted May 17, 2008 No he meant 631 as it has a matte finish and is removable. http://www.oracal.com/products/product.asp?seriesID=182 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted May 17, 2008 Ohhhh I can't wait to see pics. I had never thought about doing wall decor, until I saw some awesome work being shown here. I use to buy those pre-made disney decals to put on my kids walls over 15 years ago and they always left a sticky film to the walls that I had to clean. Thanks for the tip on the type of vinyl to use for this kind of application. Jenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fivestar Posted May 17, 2008 No he meant 631 as it has a matte finish and is removable. http://www.oracal.com/products/product.asp?seriesID=182 I guess I should be more specific, it's NOT removable like fatheads. It is supposed to come off easily with no glue left behind once you take it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firemalt 10 Posted May 18, 2008 I'd drop some $$$ in the mail for that!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
showaride 0 Posted May 18, 2008 will share mine when she get's it. I think the end of the month when she goes. From what I see it's 3 or 4 differnt fonts with sayings and some 2 color layered graphics. All simple and easy but they charge alot for something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benr98 40 Posted May 20, 2008 Great job Jayben!! Thanks for sharing those pics. Now did the customer choose the fonts to use or did you pick them out?? I find that would be the hardest thing for me, choosing the right font....well with so many out there! Jenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted May 20, 2008 I sent her to DAFONT.com. had her look throough and pick some she liked. Then I did each saying in a couple different fonts and emailed them to her as .jpg's. She chose the ones she like best. I also did a height chart that turned out really nice. I don't have pictures of it though. I will post a .jpg of the design later.

Guest fivestar Posted May 20, 2008 Jay that turned out really good. What vinyl did you use, that looks shiny for 631 oracal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted May 20, 2008 I used some Arlon I got from a local supplier. I like the 631 but I couldn't get the tan color to match the burgandy in 631. It still turned out nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
