IROC Door Decal vs Painted?

Hey guys, does anyone have any experience with painting the IROCZ on the doors versus the standard sticker decals? I'm getting my IROC painted and thought it would be awesome and cleaner to have the IROCZ under the clear coat and a custom color. Any cool ideas out there?? Getting excited!

Re: IROC Door Decal vs Painted?

painting all the decals / strips on is awesome if you can do it this way... that is how i have been having it done...

That's awesome I love it. Do you know how the painter stenciled the decals and painted it? Super clean looks great!

Yes, he works with a graphics maker in this area... i was able to give an idea of what i wanted and then they produced a stencil from it... i would guess someone in your area that does the graphics for car / commercial vehicle wraps etc would have the ability to do it... you have the ability to provide them with a good starting point with a decal set that is full size so shouldn't be too hard

Nice, I'll definitely look around Tampa and find someone. I'm sure there's a few. I also was doing some research and they can work off of a vector file so I can find one online they can create the stencil from it. Anybody know of an archive that has these decal files?

youre making this harder than it has to be.

just take a picture of the decal you want..say your door iroc sticker.
email it to any sticker maker inthe world and tell them the size you want it, and that
it will be a sticker for painting.
easy, done, fast.
