Looks good! Can you cut 10" wide stripes how much?

Bangastang aka Stage2


If you have a table, a yardstick and a boxcutter knife, you can do it yourself.

Don't pay me! I charge WAY too much!

As far as cutting all these decals goes, you have to remember...I don't keep ROLLS of decal vinyl sitting around in dozens of colors. I have the red I used on my stripes and black (Flat black) and that's it. I might have some white I use on the Lightning stripes but that's it.

For those of you who will want colors to match your car...Ain't gonna happen. The odds of matching a vinyl with factory paint or custom paint some of you have will be next to impossible.

And I don't have the cashola to do buy rolls of black or white or whatever color you all are going to be asking for. We might discuss a few basic colors and pick from them. But it takes cash up front to do all these. You have to rememebr, this is just a hobby for me for MY cars. I don't mind helping out, not a bit. But I'm as broke nowadays as those banks on Wall Street.

But I'm open to suggestions.

Good luck! I can't find tinted film anywhere nor can I find the perforated film in any color than white. And if you CAN find it, you have to buy an ungodly amount. HUNDREDS of dollars!

IF I could find tint, I'd be a happy camper. But there's probably a zillion different levels of tint and it would be a hit and miss scenario.

So.........I tried cutting the graphic I was sent and at 8" wide, there is NO WAY the tiny letters across the bottom are going to hold up. (see below on the actual decal how some fell right off) Even if the cutter didn't destroy them because they're so tiny (less than 1/4" tall) they would never last on a window. First tim you washed the car, most of them would be blown away. Same thing with some of the tiny tapered lines in the horse. If this was being cut MUCH LARGER, then maybe the letters would hold. But it would have to be HUGE!

I think the design needs a little revamping.

Yeah, I know what you mean but I'm not going to try a gazillion "what ifs". I could be going nuts trying to please everyone. And I'm doing it on my own time. We need someone to come up with a final design with all aspects considered and then we'll go from there. What looks good on a screen doesn't always work out as a decal.

I would suggest dropping the "Nationwide Mustang Club" line altogether.
Then enlarge the website name line to the width of the upper text.

Bold, easy to read and a little more stout.

Yeah, I see what you mean by the www.

OK, so I reduced the www and the .com portions so the name would stand out.

I can make them any size up to about 14".

But I'm not making ANY until Emilio and I discuss this.

Pricing, WS's cut, my cut of the price, who buys the material, who pays the shipping, how will they be shipped, all kinds of things to be hammered out before the cutter moves one millimeter.

PM for Decals
I understand.

Need to figure out available colors, buy that material, decide available size(s), decide prices for each, shipping methods and cost........SO much to do first. It's a business agreement between a vendor and a client.

Once that's done, I can cut till the cows come home!
