Thanks for the comment!

I just wanted to get some positive feedback before I actually get a few made. For now, They will just be available for Blasters and 300ex's, after all the site is AirCooledRacers.com :devil:

If you really wanted a set though, I could work on getting a custom set made for you without the ACR Logo.

Ditch or change the brush you used on the bottom, below the amsoil logo. Other then that, it looks good. Also, adding some stroke and bevel and emboss to select brush layers can really set it off.

Thanks for the tips!

This is in .PSD right now, is there any way to convert it to an adobe Illustrator or Vector File for printing?

adam, when you get those made, if I decide to get them, if I send my own team logo to you, could you put that on it too?

Yes I could. PM me once we start selling them.

Sjorge, Sure we can add any additional logos. They will most likely be made through MXProGraphx, so he will have the file, and just tell him you want the www.aircooledracers.com graphics kit, and show him the other logo you would like to have included.

haha, there would be no point in that, it would still be a rasterized file.

you'll have to trace everything in illustrator in order for it to be vector, and i dont think any graphics companies print rasterised files, im not sure though..

To get only one custom graphics kit made, you're looking at at least $200 probably more like $250.

You'll need a template for your particular bike, which is important for the shapes to be accurate so it will fit on the bike right.

In order to produce the proper file, you'll need either Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. Plus, vector logo artwork of all the sponsor logos you'd want to include. it's quite a process, and must be done correctly if you want the colors and design to print properly and look nice.

I design for a living, and it was challenging for me.

Yeah, It's a complex phase.

I have illustrator, and I will redraw it in it this week, I was just messing around with Photoshop getting a design which I liked. Don at MXProGraphx should be able to get us rolling pretty easily. After all, I designed Bradley300's Graphics, Sent him a .jpg of what I was looking for, He drew it out in Illustrator and then printed them for Brad. Don is usually flexible like that.
