Default scale stickers......

I took the clear nail polish from my wifes collection and did some thumbing through 4x4 mags ,taking out things that appealed to me. I just cut them out and flipped them over,brushing on a medium amount of polish, wiped off the excess,and applied it like a sticker. Patted it down with dry cloth and got the air out and they look great! merry christmas!!!

that works. Or you could run down to office max and buy some sticker paper for your printer and print them out. I can't stand the smell of nail polish. I ask my gf to let me know when she is going to do her nails so I can go crawling or something.

Does the ink run if they get wet when you do it this way?

Thumbs up

Hey guys, just picked up a outside body adhesive sponsor sheet from a guy on Ebay a week ago, item #300184788197. They came in and I think I'm going to be pretty satisfied with them. I haven't put them to the test on the trail or rocks yet, so I don't know how well they will hold up to water, heat or general rubbing or scrapes (any outer body mount item is going to scratch no matter what it's made of though), but the adhesive seem to be pretty good (played with a Clod sticker on it as I don't have any Clods, lol). You do have to cut them (clear backing) so their not precut which if they where, you would probably end up cutting/trimming them anyway. I HAVE NOT applied them to lexan or plastic yet so I'm not sure of the complete transparancy (some clear sheet stickers can have a cloudy look making the clear parts noticable usually due to adhesive thickness or chemical makeup{can change color due to age, UV exposure, other factors}). Not cheap though, but shipping is included and I will probably grab up another sheet shortly. (Take a good look at the enlarged pics though to make sure you will get the right number of certain stickers for you're needs as some only come in sets of 3's, 4's, pairs). If anyone else picked up this item and has them in use post some reviews, if this item has already been discussed in another thread, appologies for the repeat.

I've made a few on Sticker paper from Wal-Mart. I'd print them out. Then ClearCoat them. Let it dry and then I cut them out to apply. But it's better to just have them made. Custom Decals really are not that expensive. Depending on the Art work and the size thou.
