Custom graphics (um Mungo)

[mulisha_mike]

Hey any one out there that has desighed their own graphics, like you mungo, i would like to know how you did it. I have a friend that is real good at that kind of stuff and he wants to do it one my bike for me and i coudl help design it. And what do you think of him just paintin it on cause he want to do that and most of his stuff is awsome, but if he paints it I cant see it before he does so i dont know how it will turn out.

[Mungoman45]

Well anything i have done to my bike has been photoshopped previously to see how it looks, aaaaaah, what an age we live in with such technology :p. Okey dokey, here's how it all went down...

My Good mate Dan designed the flames around the Mungo Industries M symbol i put where i wanted, and then when we got it right, i printed it out, sticky taped a few A4 pieces of printer paper together, enough to cover the area the graphics are going, then sticky taped the paper to my shrounds and tank, while on the bike, then just sat down, refered to the photoshopped pic of how it's meant to look and traced it onto the paper (really roughly), then cut out each piece, and made a "template" type design, and stuck it onto my shrouds and tank with bluetac. Now......repeat that about 5 times, till ya get each piece perfect, like, so it fits smooth around bolt holes and corners and shit, and after it looks exactly how ya want it, make a "final" template, as neat as ya can, take it to a screenprinters, or signwritters or something, I took mine to a car window tinting and screenwritting place in town, and they scan your template into their PC, neatin it up again, and then finally lazer cut it out onto any material ya want, or they have available...All up, my graphics cost $80, printed on mirrored Chrome, but that shit is less than paper thin and super flimsy and will tear if ya even look at it wrong lol, so it took me quite a few hours to apply it. Now, personally, i wouldn't go with the painting, for a few reason, one, as you've allready mentioned, ya cant see it before it's PERMINANTLY on your bike, (unless ya can photoshop it real well). Two, as I've just said, it's PERMINANT, if ya want different grahics one day, or something, you'll have to buy a complete new set of shrouds, and not to mention the tank, which i dont think you'll wanna replace at a hefty $400 or so AUS dollars. hehe, i just realised you have a CR, which i dont think graphics will ever touch your tank, but anywho. Thats about it......for now. :cool:

[mulisha_mike]

yea the graphics wouldnt touch the tank and about them being perment on the shrouds i might buy new ones soon, which i have another question about, I have heard the the newer style CR shrouds like the 03 or somthin will fit on a 99, I want to know if thats try cause they look so much better

[*Tats*]

i got a mate who painted his graphics on. I dunno what paint he used or what techniques or what not he did.

[*Tats*]

or u could just ring up craig at ringmaster images and he will do a good job as on my bike.
www.ringmasterimages.com.au

[mulisha_mike]

did he design them or did you then he made them?

[mulisha_mike]

Ok my friend and me are designing them but its hard to find some good pics of the shrouds for my bike(99 CR250), this is the best i have found and its hard to work with. If any body can help with a good pic of shrouds, even on a bike if they are plain black, please pose it up here.

[mezza_fmx]

split that pic down the middle go into paint and then get the squar tool thingy go around one of the shrouds then flip rotate the image then do the same to the other

[mulisha_mike]

It doesn't work right I can kind of get it lookn normal but not good enough, maybe my friend will be able to do it in photochop(i dont have it)

[mulisha_mike]

ok I think it will be easier to design it with the shrouds on a bike and I have been trying to make the shrouds on this bike black for about an hour so if any one can help please do so.

[mulisha_mike]

heres anothe pic if you want to try it on this one, o and I have to give credit to mungo for editing both of these pics.

[Pedigree]

black ;)

[[TOPGEAR]]

heres a good one but its not 99

[donald]

i have to say good old flames do it for me

[mulisha_mike]

yea i am sittin here with one my frined that is going to design it, we are thinkin flames, tribal, with a maltese cross trown into the mix.
I have been looking forsomthing like what fastkx125 posted, but for a 99, if any one can help PLEASE

[[TOPGEAR]]

yeh, ill get something in about 30 min, just gotta look around.

[[TOPGEAR]]

here u go, cr250 99. its a bit big but i made it like that so u could do some designs better.

[FoXRaCiNG.2]

r the ringmaster graphics expensive???

[*Tats*]

not really, like $250 for the graphics and seatcover.

[mulisha_mike]

thanks fastkx125, i couldn't find them. I had no idea where to look, where did you get them, and dou you have a left shroud pic?

[[TOPGEAR]]

i cut it out of a photo and then just made it all black. just flip it over to make the left side.

[mulisha_mike]

alright thanks man for spending the time

[[TOPGEAR]]

yeh no probs, only took 2 minutes.

[mulisha_mike]

hey mungo or anybody else that has done this, you bring them into a window tinting shop to get them printed out right? and do you know if they can be multi colored?

[mulisha_mike]

check out the quick one he made, i think it might look better in red

[mulisha_mike]

i just slaped a few things my friend made and put on a bunch of stickers (i did it in paint)

[[TOPGEAR]]

lol metal mulisha would probably do some copyright shit. who was it that was saying shit from their site and they complained about it

[mulisha_mike]

i was just throwin on a buch of stickers and those two tribal things with the maltese cross were designed by my frined. so i doubt that the mulisha would care if i bougt a sticker and put it on

[crusty_kid]

i reckn the 1st 1 ur mate did above the sticker 1

[[TOPGEAR]]

if its an actual sticker of theirs they wouldnt but if u went and got custom made graphics i reckon they would.

[mulisha_mike]

yea i did the one with stickers cause i did it on pain, he did it on photoshop, but he can do it better+

[mulisha_mike]

now im actually thinking of making this one, what do you guys think?

[metalmulish89]

do you no if you can get luke ureks graphics, even though they are custom i still would not mide a set.

[[TOPGEAR]]

yeh u can get them.

i reckon that design above is pretty good but i dont think it would look that good on a bike.

[mulisha_mike]

were will print it out on a clear plastic first to find the right size any ways and then we will get to see what it really looks like

[metalmulish89]

good luck mate hell i can get urek graphix SICK
