Hey guys.. I need some help.
I would like to replicate the car below, and I need to know if it is possible to do the small lettering. Here is a graphic of the logo I need done. I am not too woried about the other stuff.

I would need the logos for the side and hood, and also the words auto club under the grille. I'd probably buy enough to do 4-5 cars. If you think it can be done, shoot me a price. I appreciate it. There are going on a 1/10 scale funny car body.

Also, the X on the sides. Basicly an X with one leg longer then the other.
Simple with a border something like this:

Are you looking for full scale graphics or 1/10? I can easily do either, but I cannot "print" on the vinyl. In other words, the process I use would require 2 colors of vinyl for the X's, black and silver.

Appears from the picture that the X on the car is actually printed, because it has gradations in the color. There are several people on here that can do printed vinyl, if that is the requirement. This isn't to imply that I or anyone else would be infringing on copyrighted material...

I guess I would prefer reverse mask, or printed vinyl. Whatever is the lightest.

Thanks for the reply Xray

For weight, printed vinyl is your best bet. I didn't even like doing the numbers on my oval car because of weight, but I didn't want to paint them either, as I may have to change!

You can buy decal material for inkjet printers (lighter than vinyl).

Printed vinyl would be the way to go. :)

All the graphics that you are showing are very easily done on a Roland PC-600 vinyl printer cutter using Corel draw graphic suite as the program behind it. The most time consuming one to do would be the round auto club logo. That basic shape and lettering is what I do for the vinyl dot stuck on the rim of our Windtunnel tires to ID the rubber compound. Of course your logo would be bigger than 1/2 in. but easily done. Same thing with the x design. The others could be done on a Stika vinly cutter using Print Shop. Hope that helps.
