DaFreak Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I made my own from a photo I took. Took it to Kinkos had them print on vinyl, stuck to HE, carved out letters with exacto knife and sprayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still have the stencil? I do. It's a Microsoft publisher file though. Can we attach files here? If not, send me an email at defreak247@gmail.com and I'll send it over.

SVT1159 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Sent you an email if your still willing to send the file. Thanks. Looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFreak Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Sent you an email if your still willing to send the file. Thanks. Looks awesome! File and some instructions sent. FYI - If I remember right I had this printed on "Photo Paper" at Kinkos. It was nice and thin which makes it easy to carve out the letters once it was stuck on the HE. Also be careful and use light pressure and a sharp knife (I used a new exacto knife) when carving the letters as the fins on the HE bend easily.

2010KonaBlueGT Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I made my own from a photo I took. Took it to Kinkos had them print on vinyl, stuck to HE, carved out letters with exacto knife and sprayed. That's a GREAT idea. What did they charge you? Did they have to digitize the photo? That's what I keep getting from my sign shop. They want $65 to digitize it and then $10 per Sq. Ft. I had two large (48") "SHELBY Racing" decals made for the front doors of my car hauler but he made his own on a drawing program. Still cost me $80 bucks (included four 4" "door names"). I wanted to put the SVT on my HE but the GT500 looks GREAT which is why I'm wondering about price. I figured I could make my own SVT stencil out of cardboard but I'm having a hard time enlarging it to the size I need. Never thought of Kinko's.....

DaFreak Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's a GREAT idea. What did they charge you? Did they have to digitize the photo? ..... Phill Hi Phill, It was super cheap, if I remember right it was like $12 for 2 of them. The only cost was the photo paper. I used MS Publisher to create the stencil which allows you to create the photo as large as you want. So I sized it to 22" and formatted it to print as a banner. I took them the file on a thumb drive and they were able to pull it up and print it out. Super easy. G/L. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
