You forgot gender!

Some guy came in last winter and needed some camper decals. I made them then he asked me if he could buy like 100 sets from me and he would sell them on Ebay. As much as I wanted to make a super quick buck, I declined.

I do the same. Don't they have something you can color match to? I would do that then print a sample and have them approve it.

Had to look that one up! I'm not gonna lie...that sounds really cool!

Typically these jobs are time wasters anyway so using the "it's copyrighted, I can't do it" is a great excuse. I have $10,000 of vehicle jobs sitting on my desk, why would I want to bother with some little restoration job? The customers in these cases are usually extremely picky, they waste...

I can hardly believe this! Hey "Sign Zone" - are you on this forum? Might want to remove that from FB LOL If this was my best friend, I would possibly do it but they would know to sleep with one open if they spill the beans who did it.

I don't think most shops use Vivvid. I have purchased a few things from them for home use but never trusted it for business use. I'd be curious to know how it turns out for you, if they honor their warranty.

I just had someone come in asking me to do HD decals for some milk cans - 10 minutes ago!! I'm in Wisconsin and I don't touch HD. He was disappointed but understood. A gal down the road used to make leather coats and started putting Arctic Cat down the sleeves...she got sued. The problem is...

Welcome! That's quite a question! IMO, the best way to learn is to jump in head first. Surely you have a friend (or many) that need some kind of sticker for their car or truck. Once you have a couple projects, you can specifically learn those tasks and what you learn can be applied to any...

Thanks! (this car could be better, was my first time doing a full Sport Mod) I don't have too many tips except line everything up with the top of the door panels - that is your "level line". Use bold fonts. This car is based off of another car that is my son's favorite Late Model driver Taylor...

Dirt track race car decals are lucky to last one season. More than likely the driver will replace at least the sides each year. The hood, roof and rear can sometimes go a couple years. In 8 years the cars I do have gotten re-lettered each Spring and often one side mid-season. Not the worst gig!

I just did my son's sport mod with IJ35 - no laminate. I did several cars the last few years and no laminate. I can't tell if your pic is a Mod or a Sport Mod. There is zero sense in laminating unless your driver is track champion material. And then, if they do reverse order for the feature...

I like Ray's design best, OP's second and B-I-L last - way too hard to read the small type. Your's was better but should have been slightly smaller so there was some white space. Ray's is perfect.

Is it Siser HTV? You said premium but that means something different to different people. I do not believe it would be sweat. I do shirts for landscapers sweating outside all day and no issues. Are you heat presses plates the same temp as you have them set at? Not that the presses have burned...

You can check School of Racing Graphics - I didn't look but I buy stuff from them.

I think once you explain to them the studs in the mortar will be better than removing gobs of glue off brick someday, they will see it your way. I would be surprised if they didn't..

I hate color matching. I think my eyes might be going bad...or people are just morons? That above RAL color I mentioned...I printed it as PMS 419 but it didn't match the paint on the machine located about 24" away from the decal. I printed a bunch of close samples and went there. It looked...

Best I could do (outlines are on there). Can you send the flag to Vector doctor?

There's no better way to learn than just jump in and do it. You will likely screw up and have to reprint/apply, but that's part of learning. Just make sure you have plenty of time and do not rush. I would allow yourself at least 2 full days to do all this or a weekend. That way if you get...
