Basic Vinyl Request for a Painting Beginner
Hello painters,
I'm here to beg of your skills. Can anyone help me out by creating a couple standard vinyl groups for me. I'm taking a crack at painting by making a replica of my uncles 911. Everything else is done but I can't quite get the race number or the JE pistons logo right. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Here is the car:
Here is a closeup of the number:
Here is a closeup of the JE Pistons Logo:
I think I have the JE logo, send it over next time on.
Thanks brntguy. and I like the avatar theme!
Thanks brntguy for the JE Logo!
Now all I need is the number! Can anyone help with that?
Here it is in its current state:
I'm no painter, but, I"ll have a crack at the number & see what I can come up with.
That car is looking bad ass!!
Thanks guys. It has been a fun project to learn (re-learn) all of the basics. The porsche rear fenders definitely do not make things easy to line up.
It's a tedious process but not in a bad way. The hours fly by quick. If I don't pay attention to the clock I'm pretty sure i would just keep going until the sun came up.
The wife is definitely concerned.
Paint job is looking good. I'll take a stab at the number tonight.
I just spent the last little bit trying to make that 3 & it's trickier than I thought. I just can't get the proportion right. I can get the basic shape, but can't get it quite wide enough. I"ll keep trying, but I'd look elsewhere if I were you.
Thanks Cotter. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who can't tackle this.
ANYONE ELSE?
Thanks Kev!
How are you going to do that while watching game 7 and playing the Presidential Debate drinking game?
Busy night!
Anyone else want to to give the #3 a go?
Ask Oldschool if he'd be willing to have a whack at it. He's quite an avid painter.
I sent him a PM. Thanks.
I will be looking at this next day or two. It looks simple, but I always shoot myself in the foot when I say that, sooo...
Thanks Oldschool!
Started it last night, and roughed it out, and then got distracted AND then I decided I'd better look at your sample, and I'm close. I'll try and tweak it a bit tonight and see what falls out. Have to skew the leading edges a tad and get them uniform, adjust the bordering a tad.

Awesome work Oldschool. I received the vinyl and slapped in on the car last night. Thanks.
Here it is:
Nice.
@Justin: I just wanted you to know that your avatar picture is S-W-E-E-T
Oh and that Porsche looks good too
Ha. Thanks. I have been getting a lot of compliments since joining and none of them had anything to do with Forza.
On that note..... ENJOY!
Looks great! So's the car...
