etch or decal advice

zeero · 18-August-06, 09:43 PM

I'm going to start a new mod soon since I haven't been that active in the modding latley and was wondering if this picture would come out better as a decal or could this be a successful custom applique?
I want to give it a dark red backdrop and use red CC's to light it up.

I've never done anything with acrylic windows other than adding blow holes so this will be a first.

If you are artistic you can etch it but me I would order a custom transparent decal from a online decal shop.Prices can be reasonable 10-20 dollars shop around.Jo

Id say go with the etching. Decals are nice and all but nothing beats the workmanship of an awesome etching.

thanks guys, I'm torn between the two, I think I could pull it off on my own and I def have the tools to do about any knd of etch job, I could even sand blast something if I wanted. Can anyone recommend an online decal shop?
