Yeah I like that better too. They do make heat transfer vinyl for use in these cutter, need a heat press to put it on tshirts though, I guess its a little different than regular iron ons. I also made one with an outline, which makes it look better in white than it did. I picked up some 11x13 rigid envelopes at staples, 4 for $10, gonna have to find a cheaper option, case between shipping and the envelope its up to almost $5 on top of the decal. Gonna look around but it will work for now, just gotta come up with a fair price for these then I'll be ready to produce and ship. Heres some pictures of the latest design in white.

Ok sorry for the delay but weather has been crazy out here. I made up a couple decals this weekend to test things out. Came out great, but they are time consuming to make. With the original style, I basically just had to weed out the details from the decal, with this style, I'm basically pulling most of the vinyl out and just leaving the details, took me about 18 minutes to strip all the unwanted vinyl, leaving the finished product. Well worth it in my eyes as it looks so much better than the original. In black the original would look great, but in white, this is far better looking. So the only thing I want to do is pull off the one on my truck and apply one of the new ones to make sure it goes on well before I'll post them for sale.
So with these being a bit of work, I'm thinking about charging $25 shipped to US for one 12.25x9.4"(or custom size around that) Dog decal and one 7x3" Big Dog logo decal for you guys, sort of throwing in the logo as a bonus. Keep in mind with the envelope and standard mail its gonna run$4-5 for me, so its basically $20 plus shipping. What are your thoughts on that, I want to make it fair for members? Also I'd discount multiple or extra decals and ship all together. Let me know what you guys think.
Heres some pictures, I'll post one once its nice enough to put one on my truck. First is the new decal, second is a side by side, old style to new, and third is the logo decal.

I could, but I'd have to get some chrome vinyl. Just got the cutter a few weeks ago and as of right now only have white and black for outdoor, 7-9 year vinyl, and white for indoor, Exhibition vinyl, which is a lower tack for interior walls and stuff cause its easily removable. If you were interested, I could always get some chrome or other colors.

Ok, I'll see about getting some silver too. I've seen people selling variety packs of colors on ebay where you get a few feet of a bunch of colors of your choice instead of having to buy a whole roll, maybe ill do that and get a bunch of colors just incase more people are interested in colors other than white and black. Same thing though, it will take about a week to get the colors.
Also anyone interested, while we are waiting, measure up where you plan on putting it to see what will fit. Just checked and the one I cut out is 12.25 tall x 9.25 wide, once I added the Motorcycles on the bottom, it ends up being taller so I had to resize it. I know the center back window on my 2006 F150 is 13" tall.

Well, I striped the old decal off my truck and applied the new version, looks alot better and went on great so, I'm ready to start making and shipping. When I get home from work today, I'll set up an add with all the details and options, then I'll start taking orders. I am gonna order some various colors in small quantities for those who want something other than black or white.
Knotso, I'm looking into chrome but not sure, most chrome I've found doesnt have a very good outdoor life and from what I've read, its hard on cutting blades and is a pain to work with especially for detailed decals, but I'll look more into it.
So heres some pictures on my truck of the 12.25x9.25" Dog decal. and a few pictures of what the different decals look in black vs white, plus some other colors for reference.

I just like my Freedom
Guess I sold my cutter too soon! Lol. Great work Butch. I'll take one of the Flames and the back window Dog. Any way to change up the back window to a Dog with a Pitbull collar tag? Id pay extra for custom work. Oh and you dont have to weed mine, got kinda good at it....

Used to have a cutter? Why did you sell, didnt use it?Just got mine to make some airbrush stencils, then realized you can do some pretty cool stuff with it.So what do you mean, you want one of the Dog decals but instead of the Big Dog logo in the collar, you want it to say Pitbull? If thats the case, I could do that, but would need a clean picture of the lettering for the program to trace or a font style you would want. I like 1001freefonts.com, you know what looks cutable. Sounds like a cool idea. Maybe I'll make up one with a blank collarr so I could easily add custom wording like the type of bike, Licence plate #, or screen name. Let me know and we can work it out.
