I think I know how to do it. Actually normal A4 printer also can, it all depending on the size of sticker that you want actually. :D

Wahahhahahahaa, nice using the masking type. :D

I think the hardest part is the cutting.

Joe: You didn't use the steel ruler to cut? How did you cut so perfectly without making a single mistake? :eek:

For stickers like ADVAN, don't need good printer, you just need the outline to cut.

ya u can even use A4 printers for small stickers ...
but i need a A3 for windscreen sticker cos dat was bigger...

so its adviseable to do simple logos for easier cutting...
'momo' is the easiest... cut it in 2mins only...

but again it all depends on how u cut them... just take yr time, it will all be fine...
happy trying.. it will be fun...

p/s... gonna use plotter for my next project.... waitup 4 'PROJECT BODY STRIP'..

Don't forget to post here after finishing the project ok. :D

I have a question, all the stickers you cut them following the outline only? Is there any tips? I doubt I can cut that consistent.

awesome!

i did tried b4.. but manually.. i cut the stickers bout roughly d size i wan.. juz say 8 by 3 inch.. then i stick masking tape, n start drawing n measuring... juz a 'momo' took me almost half n hour....huaaaa :frown: traditional way.... dats juz geometric shape... if organic like 'recaro'... haih so many tries n errors.. sumore look like pirated..end up tearing them of :thumpdown

Need abit of yr help la brother joe.. n haf 2 admit dat the NFSU is damn cun! simple n creative. how la u got the patience... i rememba last time, i bleed my fingers n had hand cramps..

So juz few questions:

- u knoe where can get the 'transparent' stickers? u knoe like u, u used masking tape 2 transfer yr finished vinyl 2 d car.. but usually custom stickers shop using this.. so dat can stick more accurately.. its like a thin sticky film.. veri hard 2 find those la.. more or less like food wrapping plastic dat wan..hope u get wat i mean

- bout printer, is it ok 2 use normal A4 printer? would d sticker 'crumple' abit since u r printing it the back of it.. cuz those stickers r been rolled frontwards from shops.

- haf u tried stick yr stickers in engine bay? heatproof tak? if not hafto go Tom's Stickers there buy liao.. mahal siot..

- And lastly wat software u used? Photoshop?

Cuz im actually tryin 2 do d same project like u... :biggrin: if im not mistaken u r doin the dodge viper stripes style ryte i assume?
Where else im trying 2 do d side wan.. like Satria R3 but ade garis putus2.. from headlight 2 tail light hehe... :rolleyes:
flames n tribals r to complicated..so juz stick 2 simplicity
