Subject says it -- time for new numbers and I'm looking for somebody who makes attractive yet affordable stuff.

Pegasus has them, but their designs are very plain (boring).

SoloTime seems to only do magnetics now.

I've got a few good leads between here & the rennlist. Thanks guys.

Here are some of the color/style combo's I'm playing with. I need to take a clean side shot of the car so I can photochop the trim (bumper and rocker etc) & number alternatives in a real pic.

I really really like some of the grey and orange combo's.

I was going to suggest Marks buddy from Atlanta to do your graphics.

Jeroen - yeah that's sweet (hey, I'm no artist). I was trying to figure out basic colors first.

I am worried that if I go with orange numbers or meatball, the color would not match the car closely enough. I think orange would work well for an outline though.

I definitely like the grey-silver combo's too. That was your idea originally. I am still thinking about using some medium grey on the trim (bumpers, rockers). I got some grey POR-15 for the interior floors. I might repaint the cage grey too.

Or I just realized that on your design, the orange inside the numbers could actually be the body color -- just cut out the numbers and let the paint show thru.

I like it.

Chris,

If you do cutouts for the #'s be really careful during the install, they'll bend in all the wrong ways.

I got my #'s throught Kennedy Fabrication. The guy is on the 356 registry talk list. They are nice and
have the Porsche script about 2 1/2 tall under the #.

The guy that did them for me is George Grenier his email isgrenier@georgegrenier.com

Here is a quick sample of how they look, not real exciting, but will look nice on a gt bodied car.

Hey Chris,

Yep, you're right, the orange wouldn't be vinyl, but just a cut-out.

If you like this one, or if you want me to do anything else, I can send you the file (not an image).
You put it on a disk and take it to any vinyl cutters shop and they can cut it for you.

The porsche-font is no problem either.
Remeber the porsche.ttf that you use on your website? That's mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cheers,

Jeroen

Sure, the file for that exact one would be cool. Is it Adobe Illustrator or something similar?

I bet the graphic artist we use for work (right down the hall) actually has a vinyl cutter he uses. He has signs and banners made all the time, for conventions (exhibitor booths) etc.

So you made that Porsche font that's floating all over the Internet? Kewl..

Hey Chris,

I just e-mailed you the file
It's a (vector based) .EPS file
The graphixguy "down the hall" should be able to handle it (lemme know if he don't)
Just for refference, show him the .jpg on this page as well

Oh, and post pics when the #'s are on your car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cheers,

Jeroen

Ok, I know, old thread....but.

I used google and the search and this was the most pertinent thread. But I think this is from before the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) split. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) No pictures.....

I'm looking for a current source for a race number (roundel?) or something custom. I figure my paint is slowly getting it's patina from zooming around the mountains that I want to maybe sticker it up like a rally car.

So please post your pics of "numbers" ...and sources. Something with Porsche on it would be cool....want to keep it "period correct" . The plain round stickers on ebay and amazon are stupid expensive for just a round piece or vinyl.

No Bad Days graphics. Member "Joe Bob" (mostly posts in the Sandbox) runs it. We were happy with the roundels that we got for my wife's 911SC.

Have you asked at your local vinyl shop? Got this done at my local shop and the stickers were fairly cheap. The install was the spendy part.
