I need some measurements of the gecko in the top hull so I know what area I need to cover. Maybe a pic from above with a measuring tape in the pic too. I will either find a dragon decal to cover it up or have jeff make a cover to go over her.
I just dont want to see some gecko in a bathing suite. It could be done a little better I have to say. Even a good artist could at least make it attractive.

Yes

Oh its a sticker? its not cleared over? even better

The only issue Ive seen is hull discoloration under the sticker, in various shades, so it kinda looks like its still there. Ron 1950, I think it was his I saw, ran into that.

Well I took the plunge and just ordered a miss geico boat.
And 2 of the decals above. I want to get some other decals that say "Miss" & "Geico" to put on top and below the chick. And another one thats says "You probably paid too much"

Can some one please give me I good direct over head shot of their miss geico so I have a higher resolution picture to work with when putting the one I made on the deck?

JPriami

I like the little gecko in there. Or maybe it too busy looking?

Ill have to agree w/ Larry. Also Id make it a bit smaller so it doesnt overlap the number and is further from the hatch so taping will not be in issue going over the decal and pulling it up. But I like the one across the bow as well.

Did you add the flags?

JPriami

04-10-2011, 01:44 AM

Yeah I made it all as far as putting it together. I didn't draw the chick. I found the girl drawing she was standing up originally. Did alot of cutting her out of what she was on. Then added the text, flags, gecko, arranged it all how I thought would look good. Stroked the fonts and few other things.

Have to agree, I thik the last two and even w/ the flag is a little busy. I think just the girl laying on the Geico lettering would look great. And if you were to have one made I certainly be interested in a purchase.

My wife likes the one in post #40. She didn't like the one I liked which was the one with "her cooch handing out", LMFAO!

Good job on those decals! Can you make any kind of decal? I might need your services since I'm changing the theme on mine, if you can help.

JPriami

04-13-2011, 01:03 PM

I haven't made any tangible ones yet that's all work I have done in adobe Photoshop. Trying to get an idea how they would look on the boat.
I got my boat today. Looks really nice!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/Jpriami/MissGeico/15d9bf26.jpg

I'm going to goto a local graphics shop this week about having these made up for me. Then I can actually put one on the boat in real life and see what it will be like. Also to find out what they will cost.
Anyone that wants one is welcome to them. I will just charge what they cost me to have made up plus shipping. I wont be making anything (profit) off them.

I'll keep it updated. Here

Went to the graphics shop today with my works & my boat.
I put in an order for 4 of the babe with the flags decals I made. I should see them by the middle of next week.

But for now I used photoshop to show what it should look like with the ones Im having made up.

So the local place I went to a few weeks ago wont call me back or answer the phone. SO I guess thats a no go with them.

I removed my gecko a week or so. It stained the deck. :cursing:

I tried rubbing a little acetone on it but it didnt do much. I have buffed it with light rubbing compound and it helped a little. Then I noticed when it was outside for a little bit it seemed to fade. So I buffed it again then used a oil filled heater with the boat flipped upside down on a table above the heater so the heat would rise and hit the deck. It faded a little more. Still not gone 100% but looks better.

I have a couple of my deck decals being made from another place but not local. Hope to get them this week. But I didnt get enough to sell to anyone else yet. I'm going to see if the next town over has a reliable shop to make them for me on request for anyone else.
