Car Grafx

Hey, Can East

Here are some pics of my brothers RSX with a Vinyl Graphics package applied to it. I am an Art Director for a Wholesale Signage Company and do a lot of freelance Graphic Design on the side. If anyone is interested in doing this kind of thing on their car email me and we can work something out.

The graphics look pretty good, except those colours kinda doesn't match on a silver heh

Vinyl should be durable in weather. I mean it's just a sticker.

Hey guys, i've seen that car in person and the job is great. I'd recommend nitehawk for any graphic
jobs. He's hopefully doing one for me soon.

I am glad to see that there is a good response from you guys/girls. There are lots of different styles that I can do for your cars. If you go to www.modernimage.net you can view samples of the different kinds of graphic packages. I have quite a few colours to choose from so you dont have to just stick with the ones on the site. For the graphics on my brothers car I used a pearlescent marine blue and white. For a job like this I would charge around $750 installed depending on colours. Some vinyls like the pearlescents and metallics look incredible.....almost like paint but it is a premium price. On my car I have a nice subtle carbon fibre stripe that comes to a point above the front wheel and breaks off into 3 pieces at the back, subtle but sweet for those of you who dont want to go extreme. The graphics do hold up quite well to the elements, the only spots to watch for are areas where the vinyl needs to be cut so you can still open your door or gas tank but if you stay on top of it you should have no problems. My brother and I will be down at Speedtech on Saturday and you can see our cars in person if your interested (or in the area). My email is mariodesign@sympatico.ca

Here is a pic of a car (not mine) with a similar stripe.

$750 is a bit too pricy for stickers...
how much for just the sticker (with my own design) and i'll apply them on myself?

FlippedOut, thats cool with me. $750 is just a price for something like my brothers RSX with premium vinyl. In most cases the price will be lower. Pricing is difficult to just ballpark. I prefer to get all the details, go over the colour, size and design and then price it accurately. If you have your own design you can email it to me and give me a description of what you would like. I have no problems just creating the graphics and giving them to you to install yourself and I will adjust my prices accordingly. I can accept adobe illustrator version 7 or lower and corel draw version 10 or lower. You can also send me a jpg. and we can go from there.
Thanks

Bluelle - I can do all kinds of different styles some for even as low as $150 it all depends on what you want. Dont let that $750 figure scare you off. If you have anything in mind or want something not so extreme let me know and I can work out a price for you.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

what would the one in the pic with the civic cost..
i messed w/ it a bit, but couldn't improve on it at all..
maybe just do a cut out in the stripe of the "DragonAce" and a sillouette of a dragon beside it..up front maybe..or near the door handles..

and what about a chrome-like finish to match my tint..you got anything like that that can be done up??
just thinkin' is all..once i know what my limitations are then i can decide on whether i wanna go this route or not..

thanx..DA

When it comes time to take the graphics off it is actually quite easy. Thats the beauty of going with vinyl graphics than with paint. Sometimes you can just peel away and other times you might need a blowdryer and some heat to help peel it away....but it is generally easy.
