WindowGraaphics

whats this window graphic thing on cars, can anyone give me the lowdown on it as i wouldn`t mind adding it to the tinting.

Tint cut into graphics by either hand or computer.

So you cut out graphics apply to glass then tint over them,i thought you couldn`t tint over anything.So to get started I need a plotter ? and what else to get going.On your pictures how did you do silver outline then get the blue inner?

I don't think you NEED a plotter. But with certain designs or lettering a plotter is nice. Yeah......some tinters say don't put tint on tint. I'm not one of 'em. I've done layering so many times it's ridiculous. Apply the tint design then tint over it. Some of the designs I've done I applied the cut-out design 1st. Some i've applied the film in the area where I want the design and THEN cut the design out! All the designs on that display window are hand-cut!

Hand cut you must be good at art to do that,and thats something i`m not so i`ll have to go for the plotter thing."Cheers for the info But",much appreciated.So how did you get the silver outline and blue inner on one of your pictures.

computer cut...

:booga Believe it or not - it is fully handcutted. I will tell You truth - that moment our plotter was dead and show car was going to show - we simply have NO TIME. But we did it by hands of our Michael BigBeard and OLFA.

:booga And this plotter cutt - sorry small size... So we use both types of work. Which is better??? It depends... My installers have they own view on this problem...

Blade likes my artwork u put it on that car display window i drew the tribal tear and sent it to CC for them to clean it up before i got flexi. Kinda cool LOL

Funny thing is......I saw it on computer cut but then cut it by hand. Damn cool design man.

Hey BLADE on your display window is that colored film or vinyl ? Looks cool, for instance on the blue flames how'd you get the silver outline ? Also how did you get the film to lay down on top of graphics like that ? I'd imagine up close you can see the outline of where the film didn't want to lay down over the graphics ? I'd appreciate any tips ?

It's colored film. I installed silver film over the design and cut out the outline. You can see a slight outline around the design where the film overlaps. Gives it more detail.

thats awesome work BLADE I need to try some @#$% like that. So you hand cut the flame graphic using blue film, you laid that down let it dry then put the silver mirror tint over it and cut that out leaving the outside edge, then tint the glass with charcoal film ? How do you get the film to lay down over the graphic do you have to relieve it by cutting ?

I just tint the charcoal over it and i'm done.

looks great blade nice work

thanks blade let me know if u need anything im pretty handy. I did that 3 years ago now i am flexi sign pro
