It's pretty simple. It will be 4 layers, but I'll layer everything together before I mail it. Then all you have to do is stick it, then iron through a damp rag for a few seconds to set it. The material doesn't stick very well without being ironed, so you will probably have a few shots at placement. I'll do a video when I apply mine.

Looks like this will be a go then. I'll order the vinyl today at lunch.

Does anyone have a good way to match colors? I would point you to the vinyl website, but their screen colors are so far off from the sample book it's comedic. I chose a "blood red' and "sun yellow" and I based that on screenshots.

Vinyl is ordered. This will be an ongoing thing, until I run out. PM me for if you would like a set or more.

Well here's the test piece, I think the colors look good, but the alignment is quite a bit off. I might not be able to pre-layer these for you guys, they might need to be individually layered on.

Also, the teeth of the rex are too small, as well as the details of the trees on the bottom. I'll be deleting some of the smaller teeth, but I'll leave the small tree details and whatever makes it stays on.

I'm also going to try another run at it with a higher cutting force, see if that helps.

Yeah, its like the thing on page 1, a button up. It has a hood on it that detaches. The problem is, these jackets run small, so a large probably won't fit. I can definitely make a set of decals for you though, I've got plenty of vinyl.
