Title: Where can I get some stickers? (the sticky type)
Post by: Piston on October 10, 2010, 07:44:51 AM
I just ordered a 4x4 RC truck to mess around with that looks like a short course dirt racing truck.  I have to put it together and it comes with a clear body that has to be painted.
Well, I suck at painting anything and I don't have any artistic talent, that's just the way it is.  So I figured if I paint the body one solid color (bright orange) I could put stickers all over it to make it look a little better.
So I want to find some stickers from some forestry related products, like sawmill makers, chainsaw makers, logging equipment, logrite, or anything like that.  Also do we have any forestry forum stickers?  That would be great.

I didn't even attempt searching for 'stickers' in the search box for obvious reasons  :D

Anyone know where I can get some?

To get just what you want in the size you need ya might want to have them made. it is pretty cheap and there are a lot of people small buisneses making that type of thing we use a local company to make up a lot of different decals small stuff is usually under a few bucks.   multiple colors are 2x cost though.   I use "Fought Signs in Wooster ohio great people to work with.   email PDFs to them and they get them back in the mail in a week or so.   I draw my stuff using AutoCad but jsut about any program that can print to PRD works for them.   I detail one with sizes and one with full text so same sticker drawn 2 times (dimensions and as printed)

Spiker is right on, a lot of guys around here have dirt track cars, there's a few locals and more a little farther away that make them what ever they want.  I have heard they can't duplicate any trade names though such as caterpillar, john deere (anything trademarked).  But they do a very nice job with little equipment/expense.

You can get inkjet decal material that you can print yourself.

You can use a razor knife and cut stuff out of magazines, phamplets of stuff you want.  Use Sewing sticky spray on the cutout and arrange it on the inside of the body the way you want.  Spray the inside with a clear coat on the cutouts.  When dry, spray the color you want.
