Custom vinyl graphic/stickers, OE replica decals etc, POA!

Ah, good timing. I'm currently looking for someone who can make a decal to act as a stencil for a custom paint job. Can you print on something easy to remove... I've read about something called 'masking vinyl'?

Also, could you do the Porsche bonnet crest as a sticker in different colours?

Also interested in the same thing. Pm me please.

And another message for the same stencil please?

Machine doesn’t print, it cuts. But I can cut Black vinyl and apply it to clear Vinyl if that helps.

I ended up doing the eBay route as things went a bit quiet for me (I do reproductions on the side, most vinyls that need designing etc.). I have no idea how people intend on making a profit selling things for 99p with free delivery on there as it's 70 odd pence just to post a letter these days. That's before eBay & PayPal costs, and then if someone decides to return it or if they pretend it didn't arrive, you have to refund them AND still pay PayPal (they now keep their share of the refund, so you have to add it back on for the seller to get their lot). The mind boggles.

I think everyone's housewife must have bought a hobby cutter, as it's gone a bit asphyxiated in that market. I've sold one decal on eBay in the last month. I sympathise with anyone who might rely on the income for such things!

It's just how it is - I recently put in a custom order for £50 worth of resin badges for a particular type of car and thought I'd re-create some commonly-aged badges.  Figured out I could make money back without too much fuss.  Had to wait 6 weeks for the order and literally within 10 mins of them arriving (honestly) someone else popped up on the group with the same idea and hoovered up all the orders.  Couldn't have made it up.
I did do some recreations for a randomer recently but it was hard work - had to re-create the signage from a rubbish photo, then spend ages perfecting it in AI, then the cutter messed up the weeding frame, and he wanted some extra designs but had no idea what he wanted... I probably spent 3 or 4 evenings sorting it all out, and the total 'profit' was about £15.  

I imagine it will get a bit easier after a while, but you see groups on Facebook where it's stay-at-home mums pumping out stuff for what must be 50p an hour.  Only difference is that they're literally just cutting from downloaded/free vectors, so if you can avoid all that then it's generally going to be not too bad.  

I'd recommend getting some HTV and having a go with T-Shirts though - that's a bit of fun.  Can manage it with a domestic iron, although it's obviously much easier with a heat press.

I can see where there's more money in HTV, as you can get t-shirts for less than £2, print them, and people charge as much as £20+ for them.  A bit trickier than normal vinyl as you don't use transfer paper, print on reverse and (usually) only peel the backing once it has cooled, but I imagine there's a good market for t-shirts/caps/etc with retro car badges/logos on them.
