    Talking Where to find material for decals...

    Hi everyone,

    I made some graphics/logo that I want to stick to my truck, and I was wondering if there's a special label/sticker that I could buy to print my graphics on? Something that wont deteriorate in a day out in the hot sun.

    Thanks!

    I suspect that even if you could find a material to stick onto your truck, the problem will be that the ink from your printer is likely to fade or even just wash away if left exposed - simply because it will sit on top of whatever you buy. If you are keen to do it you'd probably be looking at taking your graphics and asking a professional to make the signage for you.

    Are you going to show us your logo?

    Go to your local "Print" they usually have connections to local sign makers or look in your local Yellow Pages for sign maker and take along your PDF file for printing. Sign about A4 size should be around £12.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    Hi guys and gals,

    As Pauland pointed out, the ink might be another issue, so I ended up just calling our local graphic printing shop here. Runs around $30.00 for full color print for the size I wanted. Not too bad I supposed.

    Thanks everyone for helping out.

    Here's a draft of what I wanted printed out as decal. (Might not make sense to alot of you guys out there, but I'm pretty sure someone will explain what it means...)

    err.. without the watermark of course...

    I wanted to make a bumpersticker that said this,

    "If I was driving backwards, would you still tailgate me?"

    No Wire, have you Googled: "Decal Material" ? I did and got some interesting hits - Or, maybe you could find one of the Productions Houses that will do your Decal for You... Good Luck
