Ideas on Vinyl Decal

Blindside1234 · 12-09-2005, 11:21 AM

First post for me. I've been modding the Titan for about a year on and off. I have hit a creative block and am asking for a little genius from the forums. As you can see from the pics I went with a perl blue and a white interior. I definately do not want to paint the exterior to match (dont have the kahunas nor the cheeze for it) My cousin has a vinyl cutter (3ft) and has offered to do anything I want for a good price (free) I dont want sum big tribal sticker or anything like that, but I want it big enough so that it goes with my blue/white theme. Looked on ebay but didnt find anything that tickled my fancy. I have included pics of everything in my interior. I have a silver KC with no other exterior mods exept a grille.

That looks cool, what kind of paint did you use and how long did that take ? I like the way that looks. Do you plan on doing something with the other gray dash covering ?

Have no idea on the decal for you.

Is that a screen for the Game Cube? Nice concept with that.

Are you Jewish?

Yes it is actually a modded gamecube screen I got for free. I painted everything myself with auto paint from Peppy boyz. Just removed all plastic panels and made a day (or a week) of it. It was funny to crise in a new titan with the guts of the dash coming out. It actually took about 4 hours with dry time. About 3 coats of the blue then taped off the blue painted the existing white and then cleared the whole thing. The cluster was the hardest to get out and mask off for the different colors, but everything else just popped out easy. The screen is amazing quality to, I am surprised, and movies sound great pumping through 1200 wats of tubthumping raw unadulterated power muahaha. Back to the topis, what can I do to the outside to jazz it up and make it match my theme???

am I jewish? No, not really. it was a free screen and I can remove it for a more "compatible" screen in the future. I smart!

The ony thing that comes to mind is a very tasteful lightening bolt that starts behind the front mudflap and rises up across the doors and ends about mid way throgh the rear fender. This can be done easily as no one piece will be larger than 3 feet.

LOL yeah, that too! What I meant was, blue and white are the traditional Jewish holiday colors.

Oh didnt know that was jewish. I thought u ment jewish because I'm cheep and used a GC screen. I was thinking of putting my kitchen CRT television but I think the rabbit ears would mess up my radio reception, plus I would need a sturdy mount and I cant afford that either. The lightning bolt sounds cool, maybe white under (shadow) and then blue on top, maybe ill just get a stencil and spray paint that onto the side of my doors, you know like a biohazard or radioactive stencil, or maybe a big R that means RACING. That sounds good

As a designer for Hot Wheels and having done a few cars myself, I will chime in and offer my .02.

You should first think how much attention you want. On top of that, if you're going to go hog wild with graphics, sponsors, yada yada, you should probably have the "other" stuff to back it up. Meaning rims, suspension, tires, etc. Lowered or lifted, but if you're rolling stock then I'd keep it subtle. Obviously you went pretty bold in the inside- how about a thin stripe or two in a matching blue vinyl? Or maybe some "old school inspired" pinstriping in white and blue. Maybe you can give your emblems a hint of color. You don't need much to tie the interior with the exterior. How about painting the engine cover?
