Attaboy for Pro Auto Graphics!
I just wanted to recognize Jeff at Pro Auto Graphics in Mexico, MO. Sebastien referred me to him - they do Zenith's graphics for the planes. I wanted the "STOL CH750" graphic with the arrow through the "O" like the old demo plane had (don't know if it's on the new one or not?), plus a couple of much smaller "STOL CH750" graphics, 3" tail numbers, and some "OPEN" arrows for the door handles, etc.
I figured it would be simplest to just use Jeff's shop since I could just describe what I wanted and he had the files on-hand. I did submit my own "OPEN" with the curved arrow above as I wanted specific sizes - I felt the ones at Spruce were a little too large and I wanted them more in scale with the plane.
He did a great job for a very reasonable price! Not affiliated with his shop, just obviously a satisfied customer! I think the black graphic looks great against the Gecko Green paint!

It does look great!!! I love that paint color.
Anyone know how well the vinyl go on when they are covering rivets? I've heard some can bubble up over any of the rivet heads...

I strategically avoided rivets! LOL! I think the trick is to pop the bubble over the rivet with a straight pin to at least let it "deflate" and stick a little tighter.

Graphics make all the difference. I added a vinyl cutting attachment to my CNC machine so that I can make just this sort of thing. Now I just need an airplane to put them on LOL. Did Jeff supply you with the pre-masked graphic so that you could apply it yourself or did he install the graphics himself? I can make any Zenith graphic and mail it to any builder needing them. I also can create prop banners as well with the builders name and serial number.

The graphics were pre-masked. All I had to do was "hang" the aligned graphic from above with a strip of tape and pull the backing paper off and smooth the vinyl down, then pull the front layer off that kept the vinyl characters aligned. Worked great!
