Lightbulb Update on Jaguar Spoiler Graphics

Hey everyone,

Happy New Year! After focusing on other projects for a while I am getting ready to do a small run of the decals I have been working on. Stickers are about $30 bucks a pop for 4"x17", so the two together will likely be around $40-50. The price goes down the more I order of each color. The stickers will be printed on a material that is light gray and has a reflective coating. For that reason I cannot get a pure white decal printed, so in the graphic below I am approximating what a very light near-white would look like.



I created a form that interested parties should fill out, indicating how many of each color they may be interested in purchasing once an order is made.
Decal Color Interest Survey https://forms.gle/TPbrGjy1cdV3XBin6
***This survey is not a purchase agreement

thank you for the update and all your work... is there a recommended procedure for applying? I would assume that the surface would need to be cleaned appropriately (denatured or IP alcohol).

Surface prep would be wise, yes. As far as application of the decal, they are described by the vendor as 'Transfer Cut' and I have attached an image of that application procedure.

Here is an additional photo of the test placement of a graphic mockup I made, showing positioning and scale of the decals in situ.

I'm not sure if the photos are compressed hence skewing the appearance but that doesn't appear to be the genuine Jaguar font. Sorry, I'm a stickler for details and continuity.

It's actually intentionally modified so that the word reads properly at the angle it will be mounted under the spoiler.

Very cool looking. Maybe a rookie question but is the measurement between spoiler arms the same on the convertible?

You know, I'm not sure...if it were different I would expect it to be a larger measurement.

Agree. I’ll purchase as well, just filled in the survey. Will do the homework on the width between my car’s spoiler arms just to be sure.

Thanks.

The posts on the convertible spoiler are much further apart so it should fit either car. The underside spoiler surface on the convertible does have the indent ribbing so it's not an entirely smooth surface (I think the coupe is the same way but not 100% sure) so I don't know if that will affect how you apply these and how they will stick or not. But count me in anyway.

The coupe does have the same indented ribbing, here are the application instructions included with the decals:




You all may have noticed...no Leaper. The decal was too complex (small cuts and corners) to be printed in the same way, and printing it in a different method would likely not result in the same color. I'd still be into making some of those, but I don't have them at the moment.

The light gray is the closest we were able to get to white due to the material color. It will likely look white when hit with lighting at night though. I have a feeling the people interested in yellow are disappointed because I am too, the color was meant to be bright turned out muddy, fortunately it is a decent gold tone which may still interest some people.

Lastly, many of the stickers are spoken for per pre-order survey fillers, who are under no obligation to buy but get first dibs. Cost is $12 each plus shipping. I've also included the submissions from today and that leaves the following availability:

2x "White" Light Gray
  • [9 survey holds] Robert T (1), the Eiger (5), Thunderrun53 (1), Gascat (2)
0x Ammonite Gray Contrast (Dark Gray)
  • [4 survey holds] Valerie (1), BJG625 (1), Nodnarb (1), Paul B (1)
0x Green
  • [2 survey holds] Pupilbone (2)
1x Yellow
  • [2 survey holds] Robert T (1), Nodnarb (1)


If there is interest I could order some more, was thinking a run in one of these vinyl options could be neat: https://www.stickersstickers.com/pro...sfer-stickers/

You are holding dark gray for me and I would also like a silver/white. What is the next step to get you the cash?

Count in me in for an Ammonite Gray if you have one left over/unclaimed.

Hi and thank you again for all your work on this.

PM me so I know how to send? Paypal? Works!

Thank you for the directions. I've done this on my wood boat, but always good to have a refresher!
