They turned out great! They are the size of a buisiness card and designed so you can give them out to other MJ owners you meet or put them on your truck. The background is a really light grey and they are supposed to be UV resistant for a couple years.

 

Still in the works are:

- 4"x7" star-n-stripes MJ stickers

- 12" long "ComancheClub.com" vinyl letters

- 3' long "ComancheClub.com" windshield vinyl letters (I have 2 in my possesion that are white and go on the outside of the truck, but I'm working on ones that are reversed so that they are applied on the *inside* of the glass. That way the windshield wipers can't hurt the vinyl.

 

If all you want are magnets, then I can send those out asap. If you want anything else, let me know here and I'll get on it.

 

Prices are as follow: Donations! Send whatever you'd like and I'll give you a bunch of magnets.

This site costs me a little under a hundred bucks a year and the magnets were $125 (minimum order quantity was rather large). Don't know yet what the other stickers/vinyl will cost. All proceeds will go into an account I've set up for our group. If for some reason more money comes in than I need to cover the expenses, the rest will go towards future comancheclub related stuff.

 

Send me a private message with what you'd like and your address and I'll send you my home address or paypal address.

Time out. Hold your horses. Houston, we have a problem.

 

Even though I explained exactly what the magnets would be used for upfront and was told that they were UV resistant and no paper substrate was used, it turns out that the magnets are indeed printed on paper which is then adhered to the magnet and laminated over, or something like that. I put one on my truck and it only took one light rain to turn the paper into mush. I'm so freaking mad there isn't an emoticon extreme enough to adequately convey my anger.

I just got back from the graphics store and he said he'll get back to me later today about a silkscreening idea. sigh... I'll keep everyone posted.

Well, I haven't decided what to do yet. He says he can silkscreen the image directly onto the magnet material, but that would cost about a buck apiece and I don't know if there's a lower number limit. We can keep the magnets for hand-outs like was originally intended and then get actual stickers for our personal trucks. Or the text-only vinyl "ComancheClub.com" cut-outs about 12" long. I'm working on getting the longer vinyl lettering for the windshields. That will happen regardless. Still up in the air with the stars-n-stripes stickers. The plan was to just print them on some clear sticker plastic (because that would allow me to print up only a few at a time as needed), but now he says the ink is a bit translucent and the colors will turn "slightly darker" if you put it on a dark color surface, and that means bumpers, tinted windows, etc might have a problem. Of course, he didn't have any examples on hand for me to look at.

 

Sigh, there was a time when I thought this would be a simple thing. What was I thinking? :nuts:

stars and stripes??? how bout some red white and leafs as well lol

The company I used to work for has a decal machine and they would more then likely let me use it to make some stuff to try out if you need the help. They are used to run on the side of trailers...any colour any thickness, as long as they are not too complicated

All this would be simple if I can get decent prices on batches of 50 or so.

 

 

For anyone that didn't already see it, this is the US flag MJ

 

 

And I whipped up an Canadian one today
