Title: Tange Hot Heart :: Made my own decals !!
Post by: RoyalTrux on July 10, 2011, 05:01 PM: I got some nice decals of Neil but they didn't work to well on the chrome.
So I started trying to create some of my own.
I'm quite a font freak so I enjoyed this to the max!
I printed them with my "household" printer to testrun.
Pretty neat.

Post by: RoyalTrux on July 10, 2011, 05:40 PM: Thanks man, unfortunatly I don't have a printer to do it professionally.
If it rains on these decals you can wipe the print off ;D

I can maybe make designs for people to let it print if they like...

Post by: Jaymz on July 10, 2011, 06:04 PM: wiked mate, why dont you just add a clear vinyl over the top to waterproof them and seal the ink in
Title: Re: Tange Hot Heart :: Made my own decals !!
Post by: john4130 on July 10, 2011, 06:07 PM: you could clear laquer them to stop the ink running.

well thought out :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Tange Hot Heart :: Made my own decals !!
Post by: pickle on July 11, 2011, 07:46 AM: It's great stuff! clear protective tape for anything. I got a roll off ebay for about £8 and it covered my carbon frame's downtube and other bits.

Can be a bit of a fooker to put on without bubbles but worth a go :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Tange Hot Heart :: Made my own decals !!
Post by: RoyalTrux on July 11, 2011, 08:23 AM: The only thing about the helicopter tape is that I have to use water...
which I think will damage the print.
But was thinking about taping the chrome next to the stickers and lacqer them.
or sticky clear vinyl..
Title: Re: Tange Hot Heart :: Made my own decals !!
Post by: pickle on July 11, 2011, 08:24 AM: you don't have to use water at all, just be careful and take your time. i never used water on my MTB frame

Post by: jT Racing on July 15, 2011, 09:20 AM: You could stick the decals to the tape when flat, then apply?
