Hi Jammer, these in this case ETAC was used and works very well on hard
It has been awhile since you did a car tag how to. Do you have surfaces as well as fabrics. I use a combination of airbrushes
any good ones you could do for me? All I mainly do now are which include, Badger Anthems, Omni 3000, Vegas, and Iwata
names with a solid background, I need something new. Can Eclipse.
Step#1: First thing you need to do is scuff the tag with a green or red scuff
pad until the gloss is gone. Then I use a degreaser such as simple green,
fantastic or alcohol mixed with water to clean the tag and get rid of any oils
from my hand. Prep here is key to having good results at the end. The next
step is to spray a light coat of white over the tag to give it a good base.
You can scan and crop this picture and make it 6.5 inches high to get the
right dimensions for the stencil. Or I will post a line drawing on the message
board. Then transfer the design to some magnetic sheeting and cut out
with an exacto knife or razor blade. If you don’t have the magnetic sheeting
you can use poster board and little magnets to hold it to the tag. Place the
stencil on the tag in the center like it is shown in the picture.
Step#2: Now I use dark blue and fill in the outer part around the stencil. Do
this in light coats drying in between with a hair dryer or heat gun. Never put
you colors on heavy or they might run under the stencil. Next I use gray and
fill in the openings of the moon. After that is complete I use dark brown and
fill in the openings of the sun.
Step#3: All that I did here was go around the outside edges of the stencil
with black. This borders the design and also adds a drop shadow to the sun
and moon.
