PC Window, Decal? Or Paint?

Paytend01

I didn't see anything about this in the modding FAQ and don't really know what to look up. Basically I want to put a somewhat large logo on an S340 elite window. How would I go about doing that? Would paint or a vinyl decal look best (Or something else). If you're curious I wanted to put a Cloud 9 logo on the matte black version of the S340 elite. If anyone has any links or advice let me know <3.

You could buy a sheet of vinyl designed to go on glass and then cut out the design you want, or try to find a place that you can upload a design to and have them cut it with a machine. Bear in mind that one-off cuts tend to be pretty expensive and if you're planning on using a trademarked logo, you'd need written permission from the trademark holder as most businesses won't do it without that as it's technically illegal, as they'd be profiting from the unauthorised use of a trademarked logo. 

 

Don't go for paint. It will end up messy and is harder to remove.

Vinyl sheet or something similar. The stuff designed for cars will work, you can also get stuff that's designed to go on shop windows and such. For the most part they're the same thing though.

If you use the proper kind of paint it can work but in this case I would agree with others that vinyl would probably be best. You could google something along the lines of custom decals and I know some companies will create the big sticker essentially and then you apply it yourself

Doing a custom vinyl decal or taking off the panel and etching a design into it would be two good options.

Thats really small :/

If you need something specific in vinyl I'd be willing to help. And i'll hook you up cheap but I want to see a pic on the forum ?

 

Pm me if interested. If you're in the us I can do anything the size of a printer paper shipped for probably $10.
