Vinyl Decals Stickers Ninja 250R and more - Check it out...

Ninja script and 250R decals for your ride - 2 of each - plus I'll include 2 small "Kawasaki" stickers similar in size to what is on the windscreen from the factory - total of 6 stickers (circled in red in photos below - don't have a pic of the small Kawasaki stickers as I don't have them on my bike, sorry)

Most folks I sell these to locally seem to prefer them in either white w/red R or silver w/red R, but I can do them all the same color or in different colors (like black with red R, gold with black R, black with gold R), just let me know via e-mail (goes right to my Blackberry and I can usually reply right away - can't do that as easily with PM's).

$6 delivered anywhere in the US via first class mail. I prefer PayPal to kevins_garage@yahoo.com (kevins_garage), but can do USPS money orders also (if you have an aversion to PayPal) or FTF/cash if you're in SEMI. Just indicate the style and colors you want.




If you have any special requests for other decals/stickers, feel free to e-mail me your request.

ADDED:
250R_style2


ZX-2R


Same $6 delivered for all 6 stickers (2 - Ninja for sides, 2 - 250R or ZX-2R, and 2 - small Kawasaki) - just specify style and color choice (all one color or different color R).

I can do a small Kawasaki for the windscreen and will be happy to include it with the other stickers at no charge. I removed mine though, so I don't know exactly what the size of it was. Can someone let me know approximately how wide and high it was?

Hi Kevin,

have you considered helping out in this thread? I don't know exactly where they are in securing someone to cut the design.

I'll pop back out later tonight and check and see I want to say it was 1/2" tall, but I want to be sure

I offered up a couple of times in one or two of the several threads on that topic - I got the impression from posts after mine though that they already had someone in mind.

ETA - I actually posted in that very thread - post #79 on page 2

Yep - I have some gold color vinyl.

[M-Oorb]

You have a PM

[P1NDLESK1N]

Any chance you can post up some pictures of the different colors you can make?

edit: And you wouldn't so happen to have any chrome-look vinyl would ya?

I don't really keep any made up in advance, but I can take some pics as I do them in different colors. Most of what I have done though is white/red or silver/red - the difference between the white and silver doesn't always show up that great in the pics my point and shoot 2MP digicam takes.

I don't have any chrome look vinyl currently. The wholesaler I buy my vinyl from usually sells in minimum 10 yard rolls, so it's not cost effective for me to buy a lot of colors or types of vinyl at $25-50+ for each small roll, just to cut one or two stickers. I do other larger jobs though, like hours of operation for stores, boat decals and other stuff, so if I pick up any other jobs in the near future big enough to justify me picking up some new specialty colors or types of vinyl, I may sometimes have some leftover to cut stickers like these from (just haven't had anyone request chrome yet probably because most has an expected outdoor life of as little as 6 months).

There's a lot of different quality vinyls out there - I try to stick with high quality 5 year vinyl that is solid color all the way through, so if you did apply it to a window or windscreen, it shows through in the same color from the back, not white on the back side and color on the front.

ETA- here's a pic of black/gold I did for a guy that wanted them for a white bike

Yes - I can do a Honda logo.

There are a few Anime decals I am looking for. Can you do those too?

I can pretty much cut any graphic in .ai or .eps file format immediately, depending on the size and intricacy of the design. If you can send me them in one of those file formats, that would be best. If they are in a .jpg or .bmp format, I can possibly cut them as is, but most graphics in non .ai/.eps format need to be "converted/digitized" and then cleaned up, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the complexity of the graphic.

[BlueTyke]

These are what I am looking for:

My colors though are what seem to throw most makers... I need a silver one (for my car) and a teal/green ish to match Tyke's 'flames'

just out of curiosity how hard/how much would it cost for this crest? i converted it to eps for you

That's a job for a printer/cutter - basically they will print the colored part onto a white vinyl and cut out around it leaving a thin white border. It's way too detailed to just do as a cut job.

Printer/cutter's are pretty pricey - I have looked into getting one myself, but even the low end no-brand machines start at about 10 large, so they are way out of the budget of most hobbyists that work from home.

[noche_caliente]

do you have any reflective vinyl?

That graphic should be easy enough - probably only need about 5-10 minutes of cleanup after digitizing. The silver vinyl is no problem, but I don't have any teal (the vinyl I usually use has a "turquoise" color and some different blues and greens, but teal is difficult to match because it varies so much from one vinyl to another).

Here's a sampling of the colors I have right now (also white, but not pictured) - no reflective, but I am looking at picking up some silver and black reflective stuff, just need to find a small size and a decent price on it.

sweet Kevin! Just out of curiosity, what is it that you use to cut it? I saw you mention the difference between a cutter and a cutter/printer, so now I'm curious!

I have a 24" Roland plotter/cutter - runs about $2-3K with cutting software. Most printer/cutters can also do basic cutting, but they are typically larger format (starting at about 48" wide and going up to 100" wide) and more suited to doing the larger banner type graphics you see at stores or custom printed vehicle wraps and similar such stuff - they start at about $10K and go up from there. Very detailed stickers or those with multiple colors or fades and whatnot, are much easier to do on a printer cutter or with a silkscreen type process, but prototype/small runs can be costly and/or minimum quantities can be high (in the hundreds or thousands to get a cost effective piece price with those methods).

There are also some very cheap sticker cutters - I think they are only 12" wide and have minimal software functionality and run anywhere from a few hundred bucks up to maybe $6-800 - be careful with those as they typically don't cut smooth curves - stickers cut on those machines tend to have jagged or stepped curves.

I just do stuff on the side, mostly to help people out where I can. My kids help me out and any little profit I make (a dollar or two here and there) goes to them to buy skateboard stuff or slurpees.

[M-Oorb]

well just put in an order with kevin. Hes very good with communicating. Put in my final order a couple hours ago...sent the money via paypal and he said my vinyls will be in the mail tomorrow . Cant wait to see them

Thanks a lot for helpin us out Kevin...I for one greatly appreciate it

[Grn99Kawi]

sweet... I'll drop you a line when I get home.

[divingtigger]

Can you do a 250R or Ninja big enough to cover the whole side of the tail section? Way I'm picturing it, it will go from the seat to the underside of the tailsection (only the painted stuff not the fender.

Thanks

Should be no problem - best thing to do is to mock up the text in Word or PowerPoint or whatever drawing program you prefer and e-mail it to me, or draw it out on a piece of paper, scan it in and e-mail it to me. Also, let me know the approximate size you need - w x h.

e-mail is kevins_garage@yahoo.com (kevins_garage).

payment sent! please send out asap

Just got my vinyls and they look reallllll good. They look even better on my bike . Ill post up pics once I get them all on but I ran into a bit of a snag. I got new Ninja decals. Putting on one of them was very simple because that side didnt have one (Replacement kawasaki fairings dont come with the sticker on it). I went to take off the other side by a method that has worked for me in the past...heated it up with a blow dryer and started to remove it. Well...I got the ninja part off but all the glue stayed behind . I tried re heating it again and it still wont come off. Tried a little wd-40 cause I know that takes off adhesive and stilllll nothing. Any ideas?

[kkim]

try goo gone...


do not confuse with goof off... that stuff is nasty on some plastics.

[M-Oorb]

Ok Im pretty sure I got some lying around somewhere.
For now I'd like to show the decals Kevin made that I already put on. I decided on the goldish color because eventually I will be powder coating certain parts of the bike that color and I like it . Couldnt decide on the 250r logo color combo so I got 2 of each and put both on to see which one I like better but I still cant decide . What do you guys think...

[shift_6]

i didn't know we could choose different fonts for the '250R'

[M-Oorb]

Well kevin mentioned that if we had any special requests then just to PM him. I had another font that I liked but he said it wouldn't work because it was too thin.

You never know until you ask...

Goo gone worked great taking off the adhesive left behind. I had some Goo Gone Gel which stuck very nicely to the vertical fairing and after waiting a few minutes a couple wipes took it right off.

Thanks Kevin, vinyls look great

I chose a font that was kind of block like the "Kawasaki" on the tank, but I have a lot of fonts available - almost everything available in MS Office from 97 to 2007 - some are just not suitable for cutting, but there are somewhere around 150-200 that I can cut without a problem.

[divingtigger]

Would it be possible to get something done where the middle was cut out? Thinking a black strip with NINJA cutout of it so the green would show through

[kevins_garage]

Yep, that is no problem to do. Just e-mail me with the dimensions you want.

[kevins_garage]

Had a few requests, so I added 2 new styles:

250R_style2


ZX-2R


Same $6 delivered for all 6 stickers (2 - Ninja for sides, 2 - 250R or ZX-2R, and 2 - small Kawasaki) - just specify your color choice (all one color or different color R).
