Title: Pepsi Decal
Post by: Eric on January 26, 2017, 08:59:53 am
working on a project and close to having it done... does anyone have one of these older large cap decals that you can tell me the width please.. These where used on
Ideal 35 coolers... the larger ones were around a foot wide (smaller ones, no idea on size)... the smaller ones were used sometimes on 27s and 33s

 - Thanks for any help.

Hi Eric,

Picked up my color samples.. they are a little too yellow so I need to go in and knock it down a little.. but the detail is what I was most
concerned about... I have 2 Tom's cabinets with one needing to be restored... I started drawing each peanut before I realized I could just
draw 14 and make copies then rearrange them..

Ha.. I work from home now.. pretty cool... Love what I do...
Yes I'm going to start doing decals for restorations. I see so much stuff
that is scans of scans and the detail isn't there or isn't correct...
I just made these Tom's decals this past weekend and finishing up the peanut bag..
one of my cabinets has the bag but it's painted over but I can still see the shape...
it was 12 X 3 which looks kinda funny to me... too thin.. so I'm doing one now that will be
12 x 4...  think it looks better... and I've redrawn each peanut so it isn't grainy/fuzzy looking.
just trying to get the colors right.. they look a little too yellow.. I want them to be
vintage looking  because stark white, to me, screams generic.. I want them to have a
little age and warmth to them... Same with the caps.
Doing some letters too.. but will wait till Joey's sign is done to show those...
