hello SL,

i have an idea I'd like to put into action this afternoon and hopefully finish up by tomorrow for the interior of my car.

I want to replace the trunk cover/flap thing in the back of the tC with acrylic or plexi-glass.
but, i want to put a scion logo on it.

I want to stencil out the scion letters logo (not the oval) and then tint the rest of the plexi-glass, leaving the letters clear.

after that i want to put some lights in the trunk and hopefully it'll look schnazzy.

however, the dilemma im having is what to make the stencil out of. I'm going to be tinting the plexi-glass with that nightshades spray paint. In the paint I've had trouble with spray-paint and taped stencils, in that i usually end up effectively gluing the tape down permanently.

what should i use, or should i just go lighter in coats with the tint, and replace the tape stencil after a couple of passes until the desired result is achieved.

any ideas or tips?

thanks in advance guys.

 

can you use film? get a vinyl place to cutout the SCION and then wrap it...

 

Here's a possibility:

I got these little vinyl dudes for my radio door. You could stick those onto the plexiglass and peel them up once you're done.

 

yea, those small letters won't cut it.
im talking about a logo roughly 2 feet long and probably 8-10 inches high.
grr. no other ideas?

 

When i use stencils for graffiti i used over head sheets
those clear 3M things teachers used in grade school
Just need to print out the TC logo as big as you would like it
Then tape it to the clear sheet then exacto away
Im pretty sure i picked mine up from office depot
if your gonna use it once get the thinnest mill you can find
I use mine over and over so i go with the .8mill

 

if you dont want the tape and paint to bond, take the tape off before the paint dries...
