Question to those who've put on their window visors; what's the best way to do it? I know to line it up while still on the carrier paper and use masking tape to hold it in place, then peel off the back.

But do you start and one end and go to the other? Work middle out? Or am I just putting entirely too much thought in this?

To reduce the risk of air bubbles, and to give yourself a little flexibility to move stuff around, use a little soapy water to apply the decal. Just be aware that you'll have to wait a while before removing the pre-mask. Hopefully this video will help:

Would you be able to make one of these, to go on my gas cap?



I'm considering maybe having the entire gas cap yellow, instead of the shield shape...

Hey Van,
Would it be possible for you to mount the vinyl on a magnetic strip of some sort? It would be great to get some removable autocross numbers.
I'd be looking for 944 to go on each side of the car. (6 numbers in total).
Is that possible? What would you be asking for manufacturing+shipping?

If you ever decide to make a Turbo Encabulator decal I would definitely buy one for my track car.

"Yeah, I replaced my KKK turbo with a turbo encabulator - added at least 75 hp. There is a video on youtube explaining how it works."

The more I think about it the more I want one. Is there a market for you to exploit?

To cut it out on the vinyl cutter, I need a vector file - having said that, multicolor and small details (since the overall size would be about 4") are a problem...

Sure, the vinyl will stick to magnetic sign material (that you can get at a craft store) no problem. I charge $15 for a pair of 6" tall numbers and $25 for a pair of 12" tall ones.

I'll look into that... "Turbo Encabulator Powered" might be cool.

Would this be possible at all on a gas cap? It's exactly what I'd want...

I was just thinking - you can't print ink onto vinyl can you?
