I've got glitter and oil slick but the oil slick is a bitch to use, so unless it's a fairly simple design I'd rather not do it. Almost all my stickers can be made in metallic options that you can find on yummystickies.com/colors Just make sure you choose "metallic" as your option and say what metallic you want your sticker to be.
I believe Notori also has a decent selection of metallic stuff including glitters and oil slick

Thanks a bunch.

Holy fuck I love winter. Too bad the first snow lasted for a whole two hours.
Nolan Wilson
Anyone know of other sites besides Itashastyle that offer mirror decals like pic related?
His are always out of stock
Jaxon Reyes
Not even close, but BT did a shimapan one in black.
I wanted teal.

>place an order on notori 2 minutes ago >it still hasn't arrived

Not exactly Veeky Forums related but fuck you.
Top left was custom printed by Opposing force, other two by Yummy. No car pic because I'm buying a new car hopefully in the next few weeks.

Sebastian Richardson
Not quite like that yet, but I do have some that are small enough to work.
Hey yummystickies, is the white parts on lewd mouth white, or transparent? I've got a dark blue car and black wouldn't really show up if the rest is transparent, but I don't think it looks good inverted if I ordered it in white.
Kayden Mitchell
>those folds in the shorts
Got a boner or something?
Dylan Bennett
The white parts are not part of the sticker. It's cut vinyl/die-cut. So the black parts are the only parts that are actually the sticker. The white parts are backing paper, which the sticker is removed from.
But he offers a good number of colors. There are plenty that would show up nicely on dark blue and black. You aren't limited to just a black sticker.
Logan Martinez
Do you know how to read at all?

I have a car, but it's a volvo wagon that I've had for 9 years and I need something new
M-maybe
Carson Smith
In my opinion, printing it in a lighter color just doesn't work. It's harder to process what you're looking at. I want to put it on my gas door so maybe I could just paint the door itself white.
Justin Rogers
Awww shiieeet I've seen these on your site before but guess I didn't realize what they were.
If you could do something like the original I posted I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I'll prolly just settle for the o gosh one for now. Got a broadway mirror that looks rather empty
Sebastian Hall
>not turning your volvo wagon into a drift missile
Joshua Morales
Up close, yeah it's not as easy to tell what it is. But as long as you're standing more than a foot or so away, it's pretty clear.
I can't get a picture now, since it was removed when I had my bedside repaired, but I had it in pink sparkle on a silver truck and it was clear to everyone who looked at it. The only time they didn't know wtf they were looking at was when they were standing right next to the truck. Once they backed up some, it was clear.
Dylan Ramirez
It's a 1999 V70 It's also FWD Not worth it

i have some samples from papillo, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than the printable stuff i usually use, certainly worth the investigation, but i wasn't impressed with it's quality. Would still be useful for shorter term personal stuff but it'd never hold up to my horribly abusive stress tests, thats easily a given. (i'd also looked into some that would be strictly used for abusive use, but unfortunately most companies that produce label material for high temperature or corrosive material resistance won't take me seriously when I mentioned the specs of the product even though I explained there was a real market for it.)
no not really if you were to use every single drop of that 600 you might be able to get away with it but they won't be high quality, could do your own personal stuff fine if you manage to get a lower end pigment colour printer for the bux. my printing setup is worth about 1200+ and took a ridiculous amount of research and previous knowledge to put together for that price, as well as some trial and error money straight up lost, nearly every buck i've made off of doing stickers has gone right back into the system. I use a higher-end inkjet pigment printer meant for doing high quality art prints (started with a uv resistant dye based which I had previously as a gift, but had issues due to chemical formulation with the rubberized coating i'd been using), as well as a manual cold-laminator. (had used a rubberized coating, heat lamination, and while heat was the easiest, it risked ruining prints by cooking the underlaying vinyl on lighter print jobs giving them a light tinge.) the ink I use is archival quality, able to last over 100 years in full colour according to the manufacturer, though i have yet to test that fully. pigment ink generally will last in uv a lot longer but I didn't want to take any chances on a lower end, and the one i use has a much higher colour gamut allowing

cont: however as attractive sounding as having a setup like mine is, there are pros and cons
much smaller setup costs vs much higher running costs - it's not meant for mass production and will not last extremely high volume production like ones used in regular print shops. Lamination is required due to ink type.
lots of manual work vs nearly entirely automated - because lamination is required so that the coating does not soften and become delicate to touch, you need to be able to have the skills to line up and laminate without bubbles, and cut without tearing any of the 3-4 layers. Though it is doable with a plotter, it is very very difficult. On the other side of the fence the inks used by watracing or now notori, eat themselves into the vinyl itself, and watracings cuts itself out even, though his is meant for smaller scale production as well. Those inks do weaken the material a bit but as long as good quality vinyl is used they will last without lamination just fine.
pigment colour gamut: Though my particular printer has a very wide colour gamut, it uses fairly new technology to do this, and most pigment based printers will have a much lower gamut. This is the second reason most consumer printers are dyebased, for the gamut.
ink prices: The first of course being the cost, as pigment ink is more or less just ground up particles sort of like a thin paint in that it is water soluble until dried, while dye is tinted water and remains water soluble after drying. solvent printers do not really have this same issue, but as also using very expensive inks (I think notori's ink set cost about as much as my printer itself, mind you they're big cartridges). For some models of printers this can all be circumvented by using after market cartridges or refill systems. I refill all of my printers myself. UIS is also another option for this, but more suited for high volume output, I havent had an issue with ink running out in the middle of a job yet.

Other people may shit on you for being a /nocar/, but at least you have good taste in Riders.
Evan Kelly
Ask him about doing a custom two layer white backing, it should be easy since the hard part is done. I'd do it but I don't have lewd art
Aiden Walker
maintenance and repairs: you're on your own, and you better know what you're doing because you're going to be voiding the ever loving fuck out of your warranties doing all sorts of stupid shit the machine is not intended for but capable of. But there is also a plus side to this, you don't need to deal with repair bills.
so in short, while doable, it's probably not worth it to you to be investing all your neet money since you may never get the neet cash returned, spend the money as 'get a job' bux, then use your wageslave funds to invest in something better that people would willingly pay for.
>still falling for the ruined paint meme I'd be more worried about the whole car with that blc

what do you take your stickers off with an air chisel?
