New Sticker Style

[Marcus-SanDiego]

My sticker connection is on a trip, so I cannot order the new stickers until he gets back (five days).

This will give you a general idea of the colors (ignore the black border around the white stickers; just using it to set off the white for you guys):

When they are available, I will let you know.

Sweet. The grey looks awesome. :shifty

I'm a grey fan, too. Can't wait to get my hands on the new style. I will be pulling the old stickers off my car and replacing them.

The gray is hot. I would like two of those bad boys for my steel gray machine. Could I get Dane to change my order (from black) when they arrive and what would I owe for them?

Sent from my rooted Fascinate. Hacked Droid FTW!

I don't know the prices yet. But I "hear" they should not be expensive. I'm thinking $1.50 for a pair (which includes shipping).

And, yep, just let Dane know that you want silver instead of black.

Lovin' the gray too!

Red please

[M0nk3y]

Red would look amazing!

Can I get one in the style of the banner? Red "ZHP" with white "Mafia"? I want to do a different style with it on my bike rack fairing. ZHP Mafia going down and then the "A" of Mafia will do a 90 degree into my other one, "AZBMW.org"

What size are they (roughly)?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

They're roughly the size you see on the screen: roughly seven inches by an inch. They're subject to change, though (as they are not even made yet).

J, my suggestion is to go ahead and have one of those made on your own. I suspect I'll get charged extra for ordering one pair like that. I can give you the font name and you can bring it to your sticker person.

Let me know if that works for you.

Sweet!

I was going black (due to black car of course), but I really like the subtleness of the gray. Hmmm, Decisions, decisions. John

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Silver/gray, would look good on black car.

Will these be easier to apply?

Appreciate the perspective, put me down for gray!

I had a set made as a "test case" and they went on very easily. One of the reasons for selecting the font was to minimize the little pieces that accompany the Stencil font.

My sticker is crooked on the touring because the graphics shop didn't cut the paper backing the vinyl straight and I was in a hurry to apply the sticker and didn't do it right. So I have to remove and replace.

I should've done a DIY with pictures. It would go something like this:


Make sure your windows are clean and dry.
Eyeball where you want the sticker. A better method than this (since I just eyeballed it) is to use a piece of painters tape to mark off where you want the sticker. The top/bottom and one side should be sufficient. Doing this on both sides for consistency would be recommended.
BE CAREFUL FROM THIS POINT ON - IF YOU SLIP, THE VINYL STICKER WILL (theoretically) BE UNABLE TO BE REUSED.
Remove the backing for the sticker.
Position the overlay paper with the vinyl stickers on it over the area where you want it.
Apply the stickers to the glass. I put a side or center down first while holding the other end(s) up off of the glass. Maintain the paper taut and apply the sticker slowly to avoid bubbles/crinkles.
Once the paper and vinyl sticker have been applied to the glass, use a straight edge (ID, credit card, plastic trim removal tool) on top of the paper to flatten out the vinyl sticker.
Slowly remove the overlay paper.
Stand back and admire your work and new vinyl sticker.

A small spray of soapy water will help with alignment if need be

Good DIY Bill! :-)

Thanks John!

This font is, to me, a huge improvement.
