How to Laminate Gold Engine Turn Overlaid on Black

[hhg98]

Hi All,
This truck was in our shop and I have no idea how their decals were done. I should've grabbed a photo before it left, but they had gold engine turn overlaid on black and the two layers were laminated together but the laminate was bigger by about 1/4 inch so it sealed the edges completely. We work with a lot of overlays and specialty materials so I'd love to know how to do this. I'm sure it increases the longevity of specialty vinyl. I know we can laminate layered graphics together but I didn't understand how they got a 1/4 inch bleed on whatever clear material they used as laminate. Any ideas? Again, sorry I don't have a photo. I might be able to get one later.

We do this on all RealGold truck lettering. Apply clear cast vinyl with an extra 1/8" or so trap. We Edge print the black but the technique is the same for layer lettering.
It can be done prior to install on the roll but it's much easier to do on the substrate

What kind of clear cast vinyl do you use? Do you throw it on a plotter and have it cut to shape and then lay it over top of the graphic?
