My
Tiger Paw Reproduction Stickers are printed on a
combination of clear and white vinyl and look highly
accurate.
They are $1.25.
These stickers have been reconstructed in Photoshop and
very closely
resemble the real stickers. All stickers are extremely
crisp and all letters have sharp corners; all circular
shapes are perfect circles. These are not, nor are
they meant to be, EXACT replicas, nor am I sure that is
possible in any case. However, if you have a dirty
and dismal vehicle or one with no stickers, these will most certainly do the
trick.
I print on a conventional printer and do not use white
ink. However, in the case of the T. Paw, this
is almost entirely irrelevant, as the stickers lend
themselves to the white vinyl quite well, as my demo
pics prove. These are sure to make your vehicle
like new. These stickers do not run.
A few people have posted on the YOJOE boards that my
stickers do run, and this is false, unless you
are taking it on long forays into the bath with you (I
guess since you still collect G.I.Joe, you haven't
really grown all the way up, but come on....playing with
them in the bathtub?) If you have any question as
to the validity of that statement, go back to my main
page and watch the video of me running them under the
sink while rubbing them. For display purposes,
these will not cause you any problems. I spray
them with a acrylic sealer that, combined with the
vinyl's dry-fast topcoat, makes them extremely resistant
to water.
Because I print these files to order, you can customize
them. Want a TF sigil added to the set? No
problem. Want the step background to be red?
No problem. You can change colors, add, delete and
slightly modify at will. All
that limits you with these stickers is your imagination.
Just a warning though; these are designed to go where
the instructions say to put them. Start changing
things without asking my opinion how it will work, don't
complain later.
Tiger Paw "best steps" special instructions:
The eyes and the "UNITED STATES" is all the comes on
clear vinyl. Cut out the "US" and apply. Cut
the eyes out very close to the printed area. They are
pretty big and if you don't trim close, they will flap
over. Once you cut the eyes out, before you stick
them on, take a silver sharpie and on the backside (the
sticky side) just fill in the area that should be white.
Blow dry and apply. The silver of the sharpie will
give you the white effect needed for the eyes.
I recommend taking some packing tape and covering the
white vinyl stickers. They don't really need to be
protected, but it gives them a nice gloss and makes them
look better, in my opinion. The "CAUTION" sticker
is meant to have a white border around the black line,
so cut appropriately. Cut out "CAUTION" AND "STEP"
square and line edges with yellow sharpie or other
permanent marker. Cut "TF" logos right on blue
line and line edge with blue Sharpie. I surrounded
the teeth in green so you know where to cut. Just
cut off all the green and apply. Tiger Paw should
look like new.
