Bruce Nunnally Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I cut out a CaddyInfo vinyl decal and added to my ATS-V rear window. The letters are individual vinyl decals on the outside of the rear quarter window. I will see how they wear test. They apply together so no need to align each letter etc Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCadTech Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Texas heat It's gonna curl like Shirley Temples hair You may have to send a test sample to WA state for the water test I like it, What is the scale?

Bruce Nunnally Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I cut this one about 1" tall letters so around [edited] 4.5"x1" but each decal could be up to 12" in one dimension, any color. yes I am interested to see how it holds up. I will also shop some window cling material but most windows are tinted. This is Oracal 651 vinyl which the mfr claims will go 6 years. I am thinking send these out to who wants them once I make sure they "work" okay. I cut 4 of these to keep from wasting material but can make as many as needed.

OldCadTech Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have some vinyl lettering on our store sign which is in the sun most of the day ( when it is sunny ) and they last about 3 years. Once they start to curl they don't stay on long. Window film might be different though. THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB RIGHT - THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB AGAIN !!!

Bruce Nunnally Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 refresh every 3 years is easy enough. Not sure if they will survive carwash etc but I think you had it right to start -- which is send out some and replace as needed with updated vinyl Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 @OldCadTech I did my vinyl sticker for the ATS-V 4.25" x 1" in matte white with just the CaddyInfo.com letters. I'd like to experiment on other choices -- is there a size and color you would use? I am also experimenting with other designs like this one (without the ruled lines) Although I think that would have to be largish. this one might make an ok 3" tall design.

OldCadTech Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I really like the bottom one without the "Talk". I'm thinking about 8-10" x 3" tall would be an okay proportion for LR door glass. I like the "CaddyInfo.com" all by itself too. The red as you have it would look good on the red STS. Probably would look good on the black 02 also THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB RIGHT - THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB AGAIN !!!

OldCadTech Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Have you considered the design on the top of this page without the car or the Cadillac crest. Could you overlay like that?

Bruce Nunnally Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 The red lines are actually cut lines above -- the decal is white in the images in my previous posts; sorry I did not explain that better. Here is the lettering from the logo pulled out, and shown in red vinyl with no cut lines. So the sticker would have only the red lettering shown, no background.

Bruce Nunnally Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Oracal 651 vinyl spec & colors: http://www.orafol.com/gp/americas/en/products/plotter-films-product-details-10187/items/oracal-651-intermediate-cal Color card: http://www.orafol.com/gp/europe/en/support/colour-cards/oracal-651-intermediate-cal That one is easy to get and inexpensive; the 951 is more permanent but 8 yrs vs 6 yrs seems immaterial although as you say perhaps it is like tires where you get 1/2 of mfr claim?

OldCadTech Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Oh, LOL My error, I liked the red outline script. i also forgot about the stationary glass on the STS rear doors which is probably a better, although smaller ( 9" total, but 8" width would look better) area for placement. Not sure how the lettering would react to the window movement. I agree, the 651 vs 951 advantages wouldn't be significant. Would it be possible to add ".com" to the logo above and then center "cadillac information" ? THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB RIGHT - THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB AGAIN !!!

Not at all, don't mention it, my reply was abrupt, I was on my smartphone. I recall Cadillac owners doing a beautiful script banner for the back window that I liked. I think it was just www.cadillacowners.com in script, it was very nice, do you recall?

OldCadTech Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Okay, another idea - How about the caddyinfo.com in the cursive script, with the cadillac information in the same script as above?

Bruce Nunnally Posted July 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 The Cursive Script makes the text thin, but if we reverse the roles and put the CaddyInfo.com inside the CADILLAC INFORMATION it works.

OldCadTech Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Nah, the cadillac information is toooo much.
