| Scale Decal HELP!
I'm trying to make a replica of of my Ram 1500. Paint , colors, and decals , everything on the truck I'm trying to do on a HPI Ram body. I am having major problems with trying to get the decals printed scaled down to size. Is there anyone who can help or give info or advice on what program to use. Please help.... Here are the decals I'm looking to copy. Good vinyl, rear panel vinyl and two rear window decals. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note (Phablet) |

I know this is going to seem like a long shot, but i have made decals by hand before. print out the best photo you can find and tape it on top of the vinyl and goto town with a razor blade. its not easy - takes time but the pay out can be really nice. |

If there is no one with any other ideas or advice I will probably go with Krawler Concepts. I was honestly trying to do it myself since that's part of the fun in this hobby. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note (Phablet) |

So I guess no one knows any fairly easy to use programs or software to purchase so I can make my own decals..... I dont mind paying for a product but if Im putting a good amount of money down for it then I would like to be able to do it myself and have the software and ability to make others as well. Hope someone can help. |

I think all you would need is software that is able handle vector images with a print ability, I might be incorrect though. You could always pony up the dough for a vinyl cutter/printer, though it doesn't make much sense to for just a few decals.

If Krawler Konceptz is willing to do those for a price that does not make your head spin I would jump all over it if I were you. I have been doing vector images for awhile now. To make a clean version of what you want would take me hours and hours to draw up, $100's of dollars for a die cut version. You could download inkscape and try to make a vector version yourself. Its a free program. For a beginner, I would not doubt if you had 10-20 hours into drawing them though. |

First attempt at trying to make the hood decal from my 1:1 for my scale rig. Definitely needs some cleaning up but I think it will work for what I want. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note (Phablet) |
