BitPimps Decal Test Run

Printed out a page of decals for a test run to see how they turned out.
there's some fine tuning to do.
I originally tried putting the "babe" on the roof of the car, well she's semi-transparent in areas and it doesn't show up that good on dark colors, so I had to move her down on the hood. I had already put on the "BitPimps" logo so that wasn't gonna be moving.
Anyways, we're well on our way to having some pimpin decals!

no there's 2 sizes in each color, 1 is just slightly larger than the other.

Those are lookin good, I can't wait to order me some decal paper.
Did you get any white paper? I getting some of both so I can them both out. I'm hoping the white works good over dark colors, and you know, it'll be good when you want some white in your graphics.

naw, I just got 1 sheet of clear this time for the test, I'll probably keep using clear unless I wanna do like numbers, cartoony, or vector based graphics that are easy to cut right up to the edge of the graphic.

A little decal trick I've done with airplane decals is to cut some white decal paper just the shape you need for the white part, and put a clear decal with your art over the top of it. A lot of very precise cutting and fussing, but a great way to get white and transparent working together with homebrew decals. Did that make sense? I've been having a little trouble communicating since about 4:20 this afternoon.
