painting interior dash / pics Options

[Terzin1]

yo, im not much into the anime scene but i really dig that dash. Im gonna try that. does the inkjet ink not stick to transparencies or something?

[celicarus]

i doubt that inkjet will stick - at least 2 that i've tried did not - canon and hp -- you'll have better luck with laser.

the way i did it was - i had print out the pictures onto regular white copy paper and took it to a printing service (using your own transparencies or theirs) to make a photo copy onto transparency.

just gota remember to remove them when you go in for inspection - other wise i don't think you would pass

IMO with the gauges you should have done Initial D.

[celicarus]

good idea - i think i will do that - when i find good pictures --

actually i will be making lots of replaceable sets - that way i can change them every now and then -- k now to find initial d pictures online

if any one has good quality pictures of initial d - let me know since so far - can't find anything well worth putting on --


-- just realized that it was amy that i got the idea from or better yet copied it from - not sure if amy used the same techniques though

lol, i dont like takin off my dash, its such a pain getting the gauges back in to that oblong hole. You have to manuever it just right.

How did you put pictures back there... can you post something that can help me with a step by step please...

[lilsteeg]

you print them on a transparency

[celicarus]

i will be redoing them this weekend to replace the images with another one - i'll take step by step pictures as to how i do them- and this time around it may be a bit different because i want to have a template available that way it'll be easier to create the images so I wouldn't have to resize to fit -- i gave the camera to the gf - so i'll need to borrow my friends camera

basic idea is to use transparencies (the one teachers use on projectors) and by using a laser printer to print - inkjet does not have a permanent stay - colors smear -

i'll probably do a how to and ask moderators to add to sticky - while in the process i will be replacing my interior carpeting this weekend too
