I have a epson 7600 wide format printer 24 inch wide which can print on vinyl media . I am extending this to hot lava owners only .I will be purchasing the roll media soon. and the liquid laminant to seal the signage. I will print for free a reasonable size sticker for your car Just pay for shiping. It will be good for interior or exterior. It has a stick on backing and can be adjusted whitin 24 hours. The laminant is to seal the archival ink and be UV resistant. So it should be Pro Quality . I can send a small example so you are sure it will be right. So if I get enough takers I will get what I need to get started. Also You will need a photo shop image which is the exact size at 300 dpi . It must be clear and not blured. Also you need to do any cutting out the of excess like the borders or any white area's .

what kind of sticker and what is it for? sounds interesting.

Flames or just about anything. Just the same as they sell for hundreds of dollars. I wont do large for free but 24x36 is about all you need and it wont kill me. I need to do a job so I have to buy fifty feet at a time. You have to be a registered hot lava owner thats all. I will send a smaller sample so you have a idea of the quality.

My Hot Lava is going to be in on Wednesday. I will register it as soon as I get it.

I'm a little confused about this thread. Are you making the same sticker for everybody? Do we have to make special requests?

No I am doing a custom sticker all you have to do the design in photoshop and per instruction on my first post. I will be ordering the material next month . So everyone will have enough time to come up with their own personal design. They have to send it to me on disc so I can print it and do a final lamination so it is weather proof an UV resistant. The same process they do on all the car external designs that are stickers. Not many are painted on they are just stickers .

hmm... i really want something cool to put on my xb... like maybe a small sticker for the window.... but i dunno..... could you just make a text one.... i think we should all have the same uniform one.. that might be pretty cool

Hmm, was planning on getting 3 small stickers done (about 6 inches high) to match the one on my bike and the ones I had on my last compact. This would save me the trouble of trying to find sign shops with the right color on hand.

How do you become "registered" as a Lava owner? (mine gets here this week, probably thurs)

Im down....Hook it up...

hmmm, have to think of something. mine should be here this week or next.

It doesn't have to be done in photo shop. But it has to be the right size. I will be ordering the material by the 15th of may . So their is lots of time. As for letters you would have to cut them out. I have a friend though and he has a vinyl plotter and he may do me a favor and cut the letters for free. I will have to visit him and see . All you have to do is refer any business for future lettering to him.

i will pay for a got lava? asticker!! P/M me please!!!

I need one for HotLavaxB.com


Doc

Hey, umm yeah, I have a Lava too. Hook me up with some stickers. :D


-Z

Hot Lava #3567 of 2100

I really think that to add to the continuity, that Doc should come up with a cool registry logo, and it be distributed to all of us... (Ain't I good at delegatin' Doc?) That way, if we see another on the street, we already know it's DOWN!

Maybe yet, we can all submit logos and vote on the one we thing best represents us! Heck, we got till mid-May.. Can an admin here set that up? I gotta start brainstormin'! See ya later!!

P.S. For the next few posts, I'm gonna be redundant and ask if there are any STL SCION folks out there.. I just wanna find out to try to start a club.. don't wanna waste too much bandwidth :wink:

Today I ordered 65 feet of vinyl for my epson 7600 wide format printer. Also I ordered a clear UV overcoat to make sure it lasts a long time. So I can get started in a week or so.

We Get our Hot Lava today!

We Get our Hot Lava today!Ummm. congrats on the purchase but this thread wasn't about that though! :lol: 8)

How about "Williams Scion" with a big circle and cross though it like a no smoking sign? grumble grumble (yeah, I'm serious)

http://www.williamstoyota.com/media/images/spl_imgs_wiliamslogo.gif

oh, and yes, I have a BCP in my profile, but I also have lava # 1126

I dont do advertizing for dealers except the one I bought my car from . The manager made sure the salesmen left me alone and I got what I asked for. Thats why he makes the big money. Lets stick with logos.

Hey all, although I am not a lava owner, I would be happy to help you migrate the sometimes choppy and less than optimal photoshop images into vector format.

The quality of the output will be much MUCH better. All I might ask is that I be allowed to get something printed even though I am not a lava owner.
?????

You misunderstand.. I'm looking for a dealer protest sticker, not advertisement.

so what's the status on the stickers..
can we put in our requests yet??

Thanks in advance on all our behalf! I hope we cross paths at a gathering or show so's I can shake your hand. selfless acts beget selfless acts.

peace. :D

I am working on the clear sealer coat. I need to spray it on so I am working on that. As for the Vinyl it prints well and I just need the clear glossy sealer to be UV proof and add a glossy look. Since I do not make a living at this and this is a hobbie I am not trying to get bussiness. I do Pictures for a part time job not vinyl graphics. So this is just for the hot lava owners. First show me what you want and we can go from there.Also We need to come up with a logo that I can send to everyone as a sample.I can send it in brown envelopes so it's not to much money.

I would like to see a sample of a scion symbol or something like that. I have lava #1942. btw thank you for everything you are going through to put this together for us lava owners.

As a sample, what about a Scion emblem with LAVA or RS 1.0 inside instead of SCION??
Sound good.. :)

that sounds good

Pretty funny how the lavas trying to do their own thing...you dont see other people out there posting group buys or sponsored sales just for a BCP or a TCM....kinda shameful if you ask me....just my opinion

I have the UV clear coat worked out the final product will have a luster finish. So now we need to come up with a logo. And any input is welcome and post your design so we can all agree on it.

xb4wrx agrees with my suggestion..
DJ -- do we need to start a poll?

I like this idea of replace the SCION in the logo with LAVA but would expand to HOTLAVA all run together.

SCION LOGO(need EPS 3-dimensional file): Replace "SCION" with "HOTLAVA"

TWO PIECES (top & bottom) split logo sideways at the top of the horizontal bar with "HOTLAVA" cut out.

1) bottom, placed on metal of hatch: When placed on Rear Hatch the letters "HOTLAVA" will show thru in metallic orange Rear Hatch paint. (Note: need to pop off little SCION logo for total flatness on the metal hatch)

2) top; top part of SCION LOGO for glass and remove top spire for wiper free clearance.

It's the SCION LOGO that is on the steering wheel/ back liftgate for the xB. To do it in 3-D it would be shaded to give it perspective.

Jennifer at SIGNARAMA (www.signarama.com) says she needs it in an EPS (ecapsulated post script) file to print out in 3-D. Finished Graphic would be in two pieces, top and bottom, with the bottom piece stuck on the metal part of the back liftgate and to top piece on the glass window of the liftgate.

The last twist to the project is to replace SCION with HOTLAVA....and the color would show thru the letters from the metalic orange painted liftgate....YES! Dimensions would be, well Jennifer took measurements, about 3.5 foot by 4.5 foot...split horiaontally just above the Logo word bar.

Thats the concept...can you help.

Well let see some samples so we have some ideas to work with. I will have some free time this weekend to try some ideas myself.

if you can make the logo with "hotlava" on it....... i will need one...... because that has to be the coolest thing ever!!!!

We named our RS1.0 (#211) Q*Bert....if I was able to get a photoshop image of Q*Bert, would it be possible to create a 4"x4" sticker to put on the rear window? Let me know....we really would love a sticker to go with our plates, and there just isn't any Q*Bert stuff out there any more.

Post a picture so I can see. I need to have some idea of what you want.

Here's are ones that I like...I don't know which is most feasible to do.

seconded!

thirded... I'll probably buy a few if you make umm.... can you paypal??

Working a rearhatch SCION LOGO graphic...3.5 foot x 4.5 foot...in two pieces to cover glass and metal hatch. Will get 3D EPS file of Logo and substitute "HOTLAVA" for "SCION" and have the letters be empty to show thru the HotLava color...top piece will omit the top spiral so the wiper still works on the rear glass.

Working with SIGNARAMA in Annapolis...and a good samaritan to privide an original EPS file (Ecapsulated Post Script...similar to JPG files...better for graphics) from Dealer Data files.

The 3D file will show a gray scale shaping to the SCION shape.

Whatdoyathink?

Can anyone make that.... or does anyone know a graphics design guy that could make that???

I want it so bad!! lol

I finally was able to make a carbon fiber fill pattern for photoshop. I can do any color so I can start working on some kind of vector image . Maybe a vector image of a hot lava . and the wording Hot Lava.

hey OMG....your the greatest let me know what when and where.....if you please this is my order...Destiny

Would like to make a large Rear Hatch Scion Logo for RS1.0 #377 that would be half on glass and half on metal hatch (with the word HOTLAVA showing for the word SCION...with the color coming thru the word)

Can anyone help with an Encapsulated Post Script file of a Scion Logo in 3D (shaded for perspective and depth)....?

Destiny wont be hard. I hae a friend that can cut out the letters. What color do you want I can do hot lava color and then take him the vinyl and then clear coat it.

What are the chances of a front windshield banner that says ICE COLD ?
