sn0rkle Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 Ok, i really want to attempt to put this image on my board, but ive got no idea how. Has anyone tried ink jet printing onto transparent stuffs, and the glueing? Any other ideas? Ive been thinking about doing summut with my board, and this graphic is strangly appropriate Ideas welcome, and thanks in advance! Matt http://www.4freeimagehost.com/uploads/adeed6d4e61a.jpg Quote
Dragon Danny Posted September 12, 2005 Report Posted September 12, 2005 over here we got a guy called Simon Clarke, he amazing at Airbrushing and can lterally copy any photo or image and airbrush it onto any surface, best bet is look for someone local in that sort of area. Thats for a decent finish. Simon Clark Airbrush Artist 01206 575863 Maypole Farm Berechurch Hall Rd Colchester CO2 9NR Quote

PM me if you want me to explain further:D lmao! what i meant was... air brushing would cover the whole board and would be blended really well wasnt sure if you could do this with stickers? Quote
sn0rkle Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Posted September 14, 2005 Good idea about the airbrushing, ive contacted a local bike pimper. I just get the feeling hes gonna charge big bucks? Quote
petay_pan Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 depends what you want airbrushing i think they charge by the hour like tattoo artists so get a quote but it will look cool done with airbrush Quote
SandMonster Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 ....furry dice....? ...was watching an episode of wheeler dealers on sky last night and they showed a big f'off sticker (vinyl wrap) covering a whole VW van....they should be able to make one to cover a board... Quote
mmmlordy Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 ah quake... brings back memories. Would look cool on an all black board with that in the middle. Quote
KermitStu Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 i know the guys who own wizard conversions the car supper uper shop in kidling ton i can ask if his painter will airbrush itAND HOW MUCH IT WILL BE HES GREAT BUT SLOW Quote
JohnDave Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 Have you thought about using some LED lights? You could drill them into the end of the board without affecting the strength. a small battery and you're away, cool for riding at night... John Quote
sn0rkle Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Posted September 14, 2005 ah quake... brings back memories. Would look cool on an all black board with that in the middle. This is the quake 4 logo i snagged from a logo compitition thats being run, if i get it sorted i may well enter my board Quote

MM Posted September 15, 2005 Report Posted September 15, 2005 Snorkle How big is the file? Can you email it as a Jpeg Printed onto hightack vinyl and cut to the edge once on the board should do it. The really important bit is getting a really clean contact and applying £25 squid PM me if you like Marcus Quote
sn0rkle Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Posted September 16, 2005 Was thinking about using this, and printing on my Lexmark z45. Seems cheaper to give it a go myself. Every one else i have contact (Apart from M&M) wont even consider doing a single print. http://cartridge-supersaver.co.uk/product/BVIN10-0-Special-A4-inkjet,-self-adhesive,-weatherproof-vinyl.html Anyone tried this?
