I couldnt think of a good subject line... On the Mr Do cab i have ....the CPO is a basic brushed metal....the artwork is somehow mounted underneath pexi glass and the bottom of the artwork is glued to the CPO...My question is.... What type of printing or adhedives did they use to bond the artwork underneath the pexi so that you can clearly read everything on it.... I dont see any glue, nothing... I'm having to reproduce my artwork...and I'm trying to figure out how they did that....and come to think about it....how do they do it with marquees and the rest.... I know most guys here take two pieces of pexi and sandwich the marquee... |

It was most likely screen printed onto the back of the acrylic. |

So how is that wallet ($$$) wise... Ive never messed with acrylic...and with this restore...i want to try to stay as close to orginal as possible... Off the top my head the measurements are about 22 x 4.25 |

If you want to stay as close to the original as possible, you will most likely want to find a replacement bezel in good condition. Screening is not really a process that caters toward the one-up job. Screens are very expensive to make, and the process itself takes dedicated equipment. I would guess on the order of a thousand or more to have the screens made and get it done on a a piece of acrylic. Or you can do what most people here do and print it on vinyl and place it behind the glass/acrylic. Still looks pretty damn good. |
