decals

[gaz]

hi would one of you kind gent's be so kind as to measure the boot decals for me as i'm having some one make some up for me a little bit different than the standard ones and also the 2.0 litre badge that sit on the front wings are they the same size as the 3.5 litre stickers for the TR8

The standard factory sized decals on my 1982 Solihull dhc are;

"Triumph" = 9 1/2 inches long by 1 inch high
" TR7" = 8 inches long by 2 inches high


Here some good shots of the custom chrome vynil lettering I made up a couple of years ago, in the factory sizes.....

I never actually realised your stickers were chrome looking at your photo's at the bottom of your posts i allways assumed they were black on silver they do look good in chrome though............. thankfully

yeah, it did give a rather neat effect to the car, much better that I thought they would, actually. Best part is most people don't notice the slight deviation from stock, untill you mention it to them....

What I also find cool is that depending on the angles, and sunlight...they even seem to disappear sometimes.


Should look great on a dark colour, can't wait to see what yours will look like [8D]

i know what you meen about disappearing at different angles i have silver not chrome decals on my motorhome, thats painted white and have many photo's where you cant even see them.

My thought was to have them made up in the exact body color, but totally flat (no gloss). I saw a sort of "banding" done on a local hot-rod/muscle car that was like this, and the effect was both subtle and stunning. Has anyone seen this done?

cheers thanks john i actually wanted them to be thicker at the top and then run to fade like the TR8 stickers but they just kept shedding in the machine but i think i prefer them this way at least in chrome i do anyway

if anyones interested they cost me £25

Very tasteful,Gaz.I like.Would'nt mind the chrome Triumph badge on
boot lid of my v8.
If you read this Ron,how can we get the TR7.com decal?Did you
get this made up?We def.need this badge of honour on our cars to
advertize our forum.How'bout a window sticker anyone?

See ya. Paul

[john 215]

Hi,
Thought the same thing myself Paul, window sticker would look great[8D]
Cheers John.

Ah man, they look superb Gaz !!!!!!!! **** Thumbs up ***(




Paul, I made the tr7.com decals up a few year back ,with help from a friend who runs a graphics shop.

There was some light talk about doing something along these lines back then, I had sent a few samples off to Jay, and he was also looking into static window stickers, but they were going to be a tad pricey. There was some talk about perhaps running off a batch of stickers or two, but I think it got put on the back burner for some reason....
(maybe it could of had to do with my wife popping out babies or something at the time, lol?????)

They were just simple small vynil decals made out of 3M materials ,and were if I remember correctly going to cost me a couple of bucks each (possibly less), basically just to cover material charges depending on how many I actually made.

With permission from Trisha, maybe we could look back into this , if the demande was there......I'm game to handle it, if you guys want!
