Default Getting Ready for AutoX

Hopefully no more blue Painters tape for my class and numbers!



I got sheets of magnetic paper for ink jet printers at a craft store and printed my own. They're not the "best" quality but should last a few events. Oh... on the 8s, the centers in the pic are still white b/c I didn't cut them out yet, but they're cut out now.

I used that 911 Porsche font so it was at least close to the Scion font. I think they should be big enough. Took me 5 sheets to do it, printed two characters on each sheet. But those 5 sheets were like $15! Worth it for now though I think. I wanted to get magnetic letters and numbers at some point... found a site online that would do them exactly the way I wanted, but they wanted $100+ for the set! WTF?

you could have gone to a place that makes baners and vinyl stuff and bought the custom magnetic #'s for like $13 total.
That was what Fast Signs charged me and they were done in like 5 minutes...

The custom vinyl places around here suck. And I don't think all of them can do magnetic... unless they're the magnetic sheets of a sign - not individual letters.

Ya, they're pretty soft. I'm just going to have to be sure that the surface is clean incase they slide a little or something.
