I expect to have decals for the 2013 winner later today. That's the good. The not quite as good... it's going to be more pricey than I would like. It's a large, two-part sheet with very heavy ink coverage. If I were to use my standard pricing convention (which considers surface area, ink usage, and probable failure rate when printing - and this sheet is high in all of those areas) we'd be looking at nearly $40. I'm hoping to get the final price down to $30 or less. I realize that a lot of you probably will opt not to get this sheet and I understand. From my end, I'm glad that I was even able to get something out - when Kanaan won, it was very bittersweet - so happy for Tony, but I did NOT want to do the decals, LOL.  |

I wouldn't care if you had to charge $100 for the set. I would still buy them. That's how important your work is to me.
Thanks,
Mike

Michael,
I remember sitting in the stands when Tony won and you were so happy...then we went to the garage after the race and you said nobody better even ask for these decals to be made...So glad you had a change of heart on this one because no one else could have ever done them as well as you!!

Most dont know that it actually takes a good amount of time to do these placement sheets.
Thanks! This is very confusing layout. A placement sheet was a must.

I STRONGLY recommend clear coating at this stage - otherwise you will damage these markings. The pic above has been clear coated. I will then apply the sponsor decals and clear coat again.

Looking good! Next up Bourdais green Hydroxycut and Mistic car. Just kidding! Oh gosh no! We just want a nice simple boring decal job for this years winner.  BTW I'll try my best to have more DW12 done by 500 time. (I have a lot going on - resin projects that is) |

Looks fantastic!
