Custom made decals?

[novocaine]

Applied three light cotes of Rustoleum Crystal Clear, it claims to be tough and UV resistant for outdoor use.

Really pleased with the way it came out.

Yeah, just a test so not too fussed about perfection yet.

oh come on, it was a cracking good dad joke and you just let it slide by.

we fine, be like that.

given that it's just plain colour, would a vinyl not be better?

I missed that, in my defence there really is a hair trapped under there.


I prefer the finish of water slide decals, how thin they are and the lack of a dirt collecting edge etc.

You got me thinking.

You can buy black waterslide transfer paper, which sounds daft, till you own a vinyl cutter. so technically I could get a sheet of black, cut the decals, fix them, transfer them and clear coat over it. I've never thought of doing that before, always just trimmed round clear printed on stuff.
