crackerjack69 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Like this??? Nevermind the color, it's the outline that counts. The color will be whatever color vinyl I put into the cutter :D Quote Link to comment
Drummerboy4as Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yes actually :D is the circle oval-ish or is that just an optical illusion? Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 It is oval, but doesn't have to be. Here's 2 cuts, one in burgundy, one in matte white. And circle now: Quote Link to comment
Drummerboy4as Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 That bottom one with the circle is schweet!! Can you do those in matte white about 3"x4"? Quote Link to comment
Drummerboy4as Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Or 3"xwhatever aspect is correct Quote Link to comment

crackerjack69 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Woot! Added to my color mess! $ new colors of chrome: gold, purple, green, and red. This stuff doesn't photograph well, but it looks bad-ass in person. Bonvo gets the first cuts outta this stuff, a pair of red chrome rat 'n wrenches for his entry prize in the Datsun Bug Contest. They look awesome. Quote Link to comment

Maybe tilted forward where the turbo is pushing him. Looking at ordering 25 of them in yellow. PM me some details. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

crackerjack69 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well I think the vinyl ones will turn out great. I won't let 'em ship out until they're awesome. The issue is I can't get a decent image of them to convert to SVG. Which means I have to hand trace the crappy JPEG, instead of taking the easy way out and utilizing the auto-trace. I wouldn't be bummed about doing a Bezier trace if the design wasn't so damn curvy. Especially since it will have a chrome outline. Then you inevitably end up with some parts thicker than others, and it takes forever to work your way through the graphic and get everything proportioned. And w/ black on chrome, any difference in border size will stick out like a sore thumb. It's going to be a lot of work, but in the end it will be a sweet product, and a testament to my skills. Once I have the master file tuned, I could cut 1,000 of these in a day. Too bad I only have one interested customer :D Quote Link to comment
