Porsche crest for garage floor
I just finished epoxying my garage floor and was thinking
about putting a large (maybe 3' by 2') Porsche crest on the floor where my Speedster sits and was wondering if any of you had done this and if you did how you did it, stencils, decals etc. Thanks! Murf

I have some custom one off vinyl crests....check my website.
www.nbdgraphics.com  This is a fun one....you don't get in trouble with the Porsche Police as it's a parody.

Mikez, You don't happen to have a crest with a big huge dollar sign instead of a skull by chance. Its been one of those years in the garage.

You know Father Porsche will not be happy. They stated that they want the crest to be treated as a national flag. That is why they pulled the rights from Lloyd to put it on the mats anymore. No one should step on a flag or their crest.
I see this all in just because I wanted to step on the crest on my new Lloyd Mats but could no longer due so. I guess dripping oil from a Porsche engine would be OK....like blood on the battlefield flag

I even heard that there was a "request" for US dealerships to not put it on their showroom floors anymore.

Mike - speaking of parodies... how about a horse with oil dripping from its rear...

In one color that would just look like crap...unless it was oil cans, or dollar signs....

If it were me I would have a local sign painter come and paint the crest on the floor. I would think that a decal would not hold up very well on a garage floor.

Have a large decal made, apply to your floor and put a clear coat over top. Will last for a long time.
