Need a little help sourcing the Porsche Crest
 
I need 2 large Porsche Crest stickers for the race trailer, any suggestions?
The old style colors would be my first choice.

Thanks in advance

I can help....this was 6' tall. I can do an orange bar if so desired....

^^^ Just be aware that one is an inkjet print, and if the trailer is stored out side, the graphic will fade in ~2yrs...

Yes, it's an inkjet but has a UV clear over it. It was never intended for outdoor use.

Crests for out door use I would use a layered vinyl. Sharp edges and not feathered coloring like above. It's a bit more $$ but 3M claims, 7 years.

Exactly.... So don't show the pretty cheap print, if it isn't what you are selling... ;)


The top of the line 3M is good stuff and will last a good 5-7. Layered is a little trickier to put on, but not impossible...


Honestly, on the side of the trailer, done in one color(black, assuming white trailer), the graphic will be a little more subtle, and will hold up even better.



Oh and we don't worry about what the higher grade vinyl costs, as far as we are concerned, that cheap stuff doesn't exist.

I didn't have a exterior shot of a crest handy.....the interior one was a request via PM to post. I very RARELY use inkjet due to longevity issue and UV.

Had to search a bit.....here's one done about three years ago. Still looking good I hear. It's on a shop door in South Florida.

There has been enough race trailers stolen in the recent past that I would rather leave the sides plain and without logos.

I've got some original ones 15" x 12"........$20 each.

How about Ford Pinto Racing, or something like that. Even better, paint warnings about venomous snakes or spiders with a phoney baloney seal. If you ever got pulled over, just tell them it is to discourage theft.

There are some very fast Pinto race cars as my friend Brian shows..
