i just printed a 350gt sticker logo and found out you can't print white on a clear sticker (well the people who are doing it for me can't) we can have white writing if we have a white sticker (NO WAY) so we can change the colour of the "club australia" or make it more blocky so it can be cut out.

I so didn't see this coming.

I am under the impression that you will never print white... so you either use a light grey or use white material to print on.

I suggest that Club Oz is printed Grey.

yes, unfortunately, light grey on clear will be difficult. Grey may work.

Perhaps a red (bright colour) outline would work.

Might be best to do a White Sticker and stick it to the Clear. Shouldn't need to make it much 'bigger' font, a good sticker person can bleed the background.

Just takes time and is a bit fiddly.

you design it as a vector, and get it cut as vinyl. you can do any colour. this is why I posted up the guidelines for design lol.

no one does printed stickers these days as they fade, the glue backing comes off etc... vinyl is the way to go. its how we do the SAU stickers.

You can buy clear stickers and put them through a bubblejet printer, professional printers would would no doubt have a better set up but it would be much the same idea I guess, printers are made for primarily printing on white paper, you can feed whatever through but it's not going to print white for you. Unless maybe you could get white stickers you could print on? but then still funkymonkey says they fade...

just bring this topic back....umm about not being able to print, why dont we do the logo in two parts....why in teo parts?...well if you observe the logo closely "club aus" is actually 'on top' of the 350gt a bit.

Part 1: we can print out the 350GT part, for the grey bit we can put an outline around.

Part 2: 'club aus' can be printed/cut out from a WHITE vinyl sheet.

does this make sence...?

hmm, not to sure about that paul, i mean when its printed full size i think it will be quite large, especially since it will be put against a black background it will be just like natural text...i mean the target length we sld aim for is 3-5meters.

plus the curly font one generated the most interest in the polls......dw keep at it smhow there is not need to rush it, im pretty sure we can find a way.

"It's been a long time shouldn't have left the logo with a dope font to stick to stick to"

Lets give it another go. I have been inspired by Richards cool sticker on his front window of his V.

It's late so i'll put some time into a new logo tomorrow.

You guys do the same :thumbsup:

I just made this logo. I'm going to make it a Sticker/Badge

Tell what you think

put your ideas forward

Hmmm, whats the point in having just the name of the car?...looks weird, like the guys who own BMWs and put "Beemr" as their number plate etc etc

The whole idea is to incorporate/advertise the "car club", which in our case would be the SAU V35s. Props to you for bringing the thread back to life, ill get back to work on the logo designs.

i like it to be thicker too, but then the 'GT' is not the same font as in the car....plus i like the curly one too, it adds a little class to an already hard out numerical logo.....its more appropriate since our cars are grand tourers.

umm, here is a different font, its been skewed to the right a lil, just to give it a 'faster look' and its much thicker too.

Vinyl is the go and multi colours are no problem, the dragster is a car I did and I was asked how small can I make the logo well as you can see the other image shows how small. The motorsports is 0.7 cm high and all cut individually not just printed on, the smallest I have done is 0.58 cm which was Brembo logos (lower case letters) for callipers after being repainted.

I have different variants of colours depending on what colour the car is which makes a big difference and is easy since vinyl not printed, keep the colours simple as in no shading if you want to keep the cost down or out of vinyl.

If you keep it simple like below especially the one which is all the same colour it will cost shit all to make and you can do different colours quite easily. I do up EVO OZ stickers for here in WA and I even make some out of carbon looking material and the only difference to me is in cost of material like the carbon not time.

SAU and CLUB V was only used as an example.

On some of the first designs posted, there appears to two layers of vinyl that overlap each other...

If that is the case, wouldn't that look odd and not sit flat?

Some overlap to much but if you do it right with decent material that cuts well you would be amazed, not the crap most stickers are made if when you just walk in off the street asking for the odd one to be made.

Again the stuff I use starts melting at about 110 to 120 and certain colours are better then others, no problems yet and they are on a couple of cars that get a hard life.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
