I have to agree on the pipes- I like to see the welds and don't care much for the chrome look. Those high end pipes like Roost etc. with the gazillion welds are beautiful! |

Does your cricut use graphics like a Roland VP printer? If so, you can send me a really close up (high res) pic and I can re-draw the sticker in Illustrator for you. I worked for a T-Shirt & vinyl company for a few years and picked up a few things. I actually was doing most of the graphics work at first myself. It was a major crash course because I've only used Photoshop for my photography. PS. The Glitterblast looks great! How it's going to hold up on the exhaust I wonder about that. I was already eyeballing paint for my Technigas Next-R pipe that I'm getting. Since I didn't order the chrome version, I can paint over that ugly welded Ironman look haha. Hey... Wait a minute... Yes my Cricut is "hacked" and I can use it with 'Sure Cuts a lot' software to cut basically any kind of file you can import into it. I have printable vinyl and once I get everything lined up I can print whatever and then cut it on the Cricut. I can reproduce pretty much anything! I was making and selling custom light switch covers for awhile but quit after I decided it was way too much work for $5 profit lol. I even make my own packaging  My best sellers were 'Hello Kitty' and 'Seattle Seahawks'   |

Nice! You could make covers with some of my photographs haha.
Well if you want me to do that just let me know. If I had a setup like that at home, I'd be dangerous at making my own stickers.
I'm not a huge fan of the weld look plus I want to keep it protected from the elements. Never thought of the Mop N Glow thing though. Hmm. I didn't buy the paint yet, hell I don't have the pipe in my hands yet. It's already at the post office though and will be at my work by Monday. I'm just hoping my back heals up by then, I'm getting irritated at having all these parts and not doing anything with them.

I heard about the mop n glow here. I painted the header back to the first weld on mine. That's were it gets the hottest and degrades the factory coating.

I keep warning the wife that one of these days I'm gonna buy a scoot and decide I can't live without it and keep it! She doesn't even want me having two scoots haha. |

Wow I really opened a can of worms on this experimental paint job. It's a little much for a "quick flip" scoot but I'm following through with it. Lots of extra work since the glitter flake is so textured it takes a lot of clearcoat to smooth it out. Looking pretty pimp though and giving some ideas for my scoot!
