    A revamped logo I produced after my customer changed his vans from dark blue to silver

    Airbrushed vinyls on Berlingo-
    sprayed onto silver vinyl for the drop shadow

    Terry,
    The layout on this job is perfect.
    It is so “punchy”, clean and balanced.
    You do outstanding work.
    I’ll bet you had fun doing it too!
    Love…Jill
    (punchy means it’s snappy & attention getting!) 😉

    Nice work Terry!
    But I think Jill got a bit too close when you were spraying as she has got a load of overspray in her hair!

    😮 😆 😀

    Thanks for the comments
    Rob , airbrushing the vinyls takes only about 30min

    Theyre done prior to laying up and the shadow is cut into pieces to align more accuratly and butted against the major shapes

    inks used ,the blue text gets a brushed clearcoat for extra protection
    though ive not had inks fail

    Nice work as usual terry. Exactly what inks do you use? I use createx auto air but its a sod going through the brush at times.

    Great Stuff as usual Terry

    Not sure I understood the shadow bit

    You say you cut individually then butt to the major parts

    Is there chance of shrinkage – leaving a gap

    Or do you overlap slightly

    Curious

    The inks are regular vinyl printing inks, some being Softside (for lettering truck curtains ) from Keeps that ive had for many years and some that was given to me by a printer friend

    John
    Yes thats right I butt up against not overlap cause I like to leave the design as flat as possible ,using mac 9800 ive not had any shrinkage to date

    Another reason for butting originally was that if the airbrushing failed then it would be quite simple to redo and replace,though this has not been needed

    Great to see the effects.
