Project - Adding Reflective Stripes and Lettering

[kdarling]

And here's the new reflective Chinook labels at night:

After being in 'stealth' no-name mode for years, it's kind of nice to brightly display the make again

As previously promised, here's the zipped SVG file for my "CHINOOK" (left and right leaning) and "Concourse" labels.

People with Cameo, Cricut, Brother and other automated cutting machines should be able to find a way to import and edit it to their own needs. Feel free to use them, sell them, whatever.

Thank you!

Kevin - these look great! The "Chinook" decal over the cab on my rig is totally faded out and detracts from the rest of the coach. If you ever decide to sell these let us know as I'd love to freshen up all the decals on my rig but lack the skills needed for this sort of project.

If you get a hobby stencil printer, this stuff is actually pretty easy to make.

What I didn't know was that it was a three step process. First you let the machine trace the letters with its blade. Then you pick up the letters onto the back of a clear transfer film. And that's what you use to rub the letters onto a surface.

Doug here on the forum sometimes sells such vinyl decals.

Thanks for the tip.

Doug - if you read this and are interested in selling me some decals let me know.
