Wondered if anyone new how to make ther own graphics. I remember a post awhile back on somebody doing this but i cant seem to find it.

If anyone has any ideas, like what kind of vinyl sticker paper to use, where to get it etc.etc. that would be great.

 

i know there are different types of vinyl, i would imagine you could pick it up at lowes, home depot, or an upholstery store. i have been debating this seeing as how i have tons of vinyl and a vinyl cutter at work! hehe!!!!

 

Depends on how you want to go about doing graphics. Professionally you need a computer program and a plotter/vinyl cutter. If you don't have either of these you could always purchase vinyl and cut it out by hand depending on how detailed ur graphics are. You can purchase vinyl from sign supply companies. There are several manufacturers of vinyl. No matter what company u buy from though, make sure u get high performance as opposed to calendered or intermediate. Certain vinyls are made for vehicle applications, they are generally less than 2 mil thick and have a longer expectancy compared to indoor vinyls which can be 3 mil thick.

 

I did mine last year cause I got the bike used and it was painted just red. I went to a place that make signs for sport events and they use a vinyl sheeting by 3m. I made my own do to the fact it casts so damn much. Be glad to answer any questions you may have. Im thinking about changing the colors on it again. You can get pics off the internet and a good knife. Karl

 

What kind of graphics are you looking at? What year is the bike and which bike? I am a graphic designer and could help if you would like, or you can go here - http://www.replicals.com/index.php and they have lots of different kits that aer reasonably priced. Send me a PM I might be able to get something together for ya.

 

o2 F4i re/blk Im not good enough to create new graphics but I did repair some of my original by going to a sign supply outfit and
grabbed a vinyl sticker color chart. After choosing a close red, you just buy the stuff by the lineal foot. The vinyl material is similar to decals found on cars.
