I have a little die-cast metal model of my car and I want to put the same designs on that little one just like the real thing. Anyone have an idea how to do this?? I have seen some of the pictures on here where alot of people have little models of their cars and they are painted exactly like their vinyls. This is a photo of my car.....





Hopefully y'all know what I'm trying to say here......

OK, not to be a wisenheimer.. a small paintbrush?

What scale is your die cast model? Perhaps you can take photos of the real NB and the model into a Fast Signs shop and tell them what you're wanting to do. They do lots of work for all kinds of applications. I even searched a few sites near your location:

FASTSIGNS®

I've used this company on several occasions for car club window stickers, and even "for sale" stickers on vehicles I've sold.

Just an idea

BTW - am I spying a Magenta colored Dodge Neon hiding behind your NB?

Not an odd question at all, actually...

I'm doing one of my NB as we speak. First off, get access to an Inkjet or laser printer. Then try these sites to orde some decal paper that can be used for your type of printer:

http://www.decalpaper.com/

or

http://www.bare-metal.com/gateways/decal_supplies.html

All y'gotta do then, is make the design in scale. Using tracing paper over the model, some reference photos, a scanner, and a paint program will do wonders!

PM Bugman.

He has a very custom flame job NB, and he has hundreds of miniatures that he's painted himself. (He painted his actual NB himself as well).
