yeah okay then kinda what I was thinking
maybe the car and woman on top cover
guy w/ dog and sparky on the back...
the font is very fiitting iyam...
it is from the 50's like you would see like at a diner or like a sea-fury motor boat w/ fins from 1956...
this should turn out pretty cool in fact!
just a fun amp to have I guess
got some other goodies I will to it once its completed to phaten up the sale/offer
wait till you see these rte 66 oem adornments I have (some oem, some not)- but cool nonetheless

Dude, I dig it 100%
Don't re-do this one. It's your first one, right?
Looks great to me. Any imperfections you see will just be push you to further perfection.
Nice Work

perhaps arranging a group shipment amoungst a couple/few guys or gals
ideally just sending the metal to be coated- it would save tons of usd, as I wouldn't have to bill for breakdown and reassembly, and you would save on shipment of the weight factor w/o the elec portion of amp/gear

Looks good Matt! As asked above, is this screen printed? You mentioned transfer paper earlier-- isn't that decals?
Either way, it looks great!
Later,
Jason

well yes pretty much ... picture if you will... like model planes and cars and how you do the decal transfer process.
this is same idea/concept but used with special transfer media as used in the ceramics industry and special ink/toners to meet the high-temp needs to be viable for the coating industry. It's a powder coaters dream- certain toner and decal transfers that can withstand the heat of curing coatings and/or ceramics.
respectfully i would have to keep the sources of which i acquired/acquire all this stuff from "secret" (and i do so as well on the coating forums too- which i get hammered with inquiries apprx 1-2 every couple days or so when guys see my work- and/but the guys that ask totally understand) but will say it's not/wasnt cheap, but once you're in, you're in; it is only the media and toner that are your consumables and need to be mindful of. I'm sure that there are other vendors/sources out there... but the one that i order my media from is off shore and, yes... it would prolly behoove me to find someone/a source domestically. Funny thing is though that the stuff i get from these people they dont even show/offer/demonstrate/announce this particular on their web site... they said to me that there are certain/select few niche-markets or specific mfg's that they service and/or cater to, and those industries know how to find them.... (motor/bike helmet makers, bike mfg's, ceramics ppl, etc etc) but they do offer something similar- like a house-hold product for the home user... but doesn't have the hi-temp aspect to it. the high temp quality of it is prolly not so so common, but becoming more and more common as powder coating becomes more and more popular...
NOW to take it a step further... while of course SS'ing is the OEM way about it... but i just dont see it viable to do this type of one-of custom work for someone in my shoes, namely for a couple of reasons:
1) SS'ing is artwork that is last thing applied in the process, leaving the artwork exposed to the outside elements, as you guys see, the artwork is first to go in most cases- this way with coating over it- it seals it in and whatever it is has to beat through the coating first in order to get to the artwork...
2) the cost factor to make screens for just a rte 66, dealing with registration, jig's, trying to keep a coating and blasting shop clean and then the clean up afterwards- with this here all i have is printing left overs from and a tall ass verticle standing bad boy printer/copier in the living room (didnt want to expose it to all the dust in shop so i do it at home...)
---The con's---
1) you can see, with your nose right in it, and on certain angles, the edge or boarder/s of the decal... it is ever so slight...
but for the results, and quality of print you get- it is a no brainer....
SOOO all together and at the end of the day - dollars to doughnuts- and after 2 years of trial and error and getting continuously let down with the exploration of trying to think i could get ss'ing set in place.... it is the only thing i can come up without going into full fledged sublimation process, which would/could be worst case in the 10's of thousands of USD to get into properly, with all decent equip. there are places that will do the printing of sublimation for you... but that is way out of line... maybe it has come down as of late.. but last i checked or knew... there were 1-1.5K minimums and all that stupid crap!
IYAM this process could very well be the improvement or step up from SS'ing- providing you are using this h-temp powder curable stuff, and then clearing over it.
Whats exciting for me is that it is kinda like a whole new way of or at least different way of making outdoor signs. Which is very interesting for me to try to digest. Everyone that comes through the shop and sees the plates i did- they are simply besides themselves. i mean wait till some you guys get these in your hands...

SORRY ABOUT THE BAD PICS GUYS!
but camera is broke, had to take w/ cell
but the back is done... save the clear coat, but artwork is done!
kinda feel as though the guy/dog could have been shifted over to the left just a lil bit.. and in doing so, sparky should shift to the right a lil...so a little off as far as being centered...but this stuff is difficult in fact... Took me all morning and two runs to get it to this acceptance point- not gonna fool with it any more- it looks fine in person...
re-did the cover as far as like from scratch as the artwork once applied and dried there aint no removing it w/o compromising the coating finish- so i stripped the cover and did it again (which took like 4 times to get it right to my level of satisfaction/QC).
