Well, anyway, I cut some stuff up/out today to try some things.
I think I will go with the Prism Gold vinyl for "Wild Rhino" on back of my gray 88, and the Chrome look vinyl for Chromo.
Vinyl is supposed to stick well, remove easy, not harm the paint, and stand up to weather and sun well.
I'll be putting a few things on my wings with it.
I like all 3, but I really like that prism gold. Gives a nice Rainbow/prism reflection just like it should. Hard to see it in my yucky picture but of course the one that looks lit with LEDS is one of the Prism Gold catching the light just right.
I always like that prism stuff, used to use the store bought tapes and such for dash's in older cars around the 70's. Man that stuff was expensive then too.

Sure I can sell them if people want them.
The "WILD RHINO" I did is about 3/4"-1" tall and 5-6" wide they aren't all the same size. I think for something about that size maybe $3 for the first one and $1.50 each for more of the same design.
First one is more cause it includes the shipping and special clear tape to apply the design which is re-usable for the others and also it's the one I that takes time to set up.
Would that sound fair?

that sounds good to me. Is that enough to cover the cost of the vinyl meterial and your time? what about other names like peoples screen or road names, by the letter? also what is the cost difference between the chrome,gold, and the prisem vinyl. I am going to PM you my numbers so we can talk.

I took several pics of these from various angles and flash settings, having trouble getting a good prism effect in the camera though they really prism in person.
I call these "Tribute to the American Mudflap" LOL
I did the poses in one of my art programs with a figure then cut them out.
I kinda messed up the arm on the one on the top right but left it in anyway.
That one is really strange! I did not print anything, just cut out shape, but in one of the other photos she has eyes, nose, and breasts like a faded photo, and how that happened I have NO idea!

Long as it's not to big a name I'm fine. I can go about 11" wide but for various reasons I'd like to keep length around 6" or less.
For now all the vinyl would be the same cost. I also have plain colors like red, blue, black etc...
Wife used this design she found on one of her craft site forums and cut it from card stock then colored it red. Please don't ask for anything like this in vinyl LOL

Hey Chromo - was good to meet you. (He rode over to just south of Joplin to pick up a belly pan and toe rests) Now I really can see what intricate stuff you can make. That last one would take hours and hours to pick out the waste stock.
That would be a good way to replace lost or worn emblems on side covers and such.Could even change it around, like Oldwing for and older ride, one with a lot of chrome could be Goldbling, Blingwing - lots of possibilities.

Was good to meet you too Don.
Yes, getting too fancy like that one the wife cut out takes time to clean up for sure. With paper/cardstock allot sticks to cut mat or falls out. With adhesive vinyl it all has to be hand picked because the backing paper does not get cut.
