HX/HZ Sandman Stripes.

**stickthis** · 12-06-2010, 12:40 PM

Yes agree the turn over will be good. But working on this:

50 people on my list. 30 of them will probably take a set. the other 20 could be (may not be) tyre kickers.

$10,000 to setup to print these!

At the end of the day if all 50 sets sell we will be out in front. Wouldnt do it if we wasnt lol. The hours that have gone into these is crazy. To print the 50 sets it will take about 8 weeks. 4 hours or so a day.

not a prob mook with a set. the HX DX5 we should have plenty left over. We are only doing a few print runs of each colour combos. Some combos like HZ DY3 we will do more than some of the less common brown combos. But no more are likly to be printed until this time next year. So hopefully we dont run out of curtin colour combos.

Have the HQ/HJ stripes in stock. so they are easy!

Cheers
Jason

I also work for myself as a cabinet maker an i can fully appreciate that it's not just money in your pocket! somehow it all gets gobbled up, but still nothing beats good repetitive work with large quantities. Good bread & butter stuff, that is if you have no breakdowns... Hows the anticipation building though. Great to see someone dedicated to producing top quality products, great work pride!

sorry could let me know when you have the DX5's done and ill let you know which way ill go. but then again they are probably a good investment ;)

Yeah I agree. At the end of the day it gets my name out there. Even if we don't profit much from the first batch. By selling a set of stripes many times we will sell a set of engine bay decals aswell.

As you would know to do things correctly they can take time! breakdowns. arg! don't mention that. 2 major ones have happened already with these stripes! fingers crossed.

Cheers Carl.

Hi Carl, I don't want to do Jason out of business but if you are in need of DX5 decals before Jason makes some up then this guy still has 7 sets of them available on Ebay for $495 a set.

I have a set of his DY2 decals that I bought when I heard he was no longer going to be making them and they are very good screen printed reproductions.

Sorry Jase...... I know yours will be better....

not a prob at all. =)

The only difference between my kits and the ones he supplies is I'm told that you have to sit there and cut out around them. they are not profile cut around each stripe or logo. Ours are all profile cut so no issues there with sitting for hours with a hobby knife. I was told this by a bloke that brought his but i have not seen his repro sets at all before being applied.

Cheers

That is correct, the ones I have are not profile cut. The printing and colours are excellent but you need to spend a bit of time on them with a pair of sharp sissors.

I am glad I didn't go with that guy than because I don't think I would have the patience to sit there and do a good job

thanks for that but i'm waiting on the HZ DX5 decals

**stickthis** · 13-06-2010, 05:39 PM

Ah sorry Carl just assumed. I didnt check my list. The HZ DX5 will be the 3rd colour combo to be done! ;)

**stickthis** · 09-07-2010, 11:39 PM

OK Screens are back. Next week is planned to print off about 20 sets of the HZ DY3! Im hoping that nothing goes wrong this time around. There have been many changes to the screens so hopefully it helps!

If something goes wrong this time it wont be good! It will just about be enough to can the project if it did! 10k down the drain.......

Everyone cross your fingers, toes and what ever else you can...............
