While my bird is in the workshop for some enforced repairs (don't ask, I'm too embarrassed), I thought I might update the graphics. I've seen some nice swoopy graphics on Europas and assume that they are simple stick on vinyl?



Can anyone advise on sources and costs?



Thanks

I used Paul Burton at TWF Solutions (part of Swift) to design the graphic - cost 120 GBP, less 10% for Europa owners, plus 20% VAT = 129.60 GBP.



He gets his local branch of Signs Express to make up the vinyl (he supplies  them with final PDF camera-ready artwork), cost 265 GBP plus 20% VAT = 318.00 GBP.



You could then ask your local Signs Express (or whoever) to apply the vinyl if you don't feel up to experimenting... I was quoted 290 GBP plus 20% VAT = 348.00 GBP.



Plenty of videos on YouTube of how to apply vinyl; you'll need chinagraph (grease pencil), masking tape, water, detergent, squeegee, a steady hand and nerves of steel...

Wow, that looks great. Who would own copyright for the design? I'd need different colours but.....

Thanks Howard,



Well I guess I own the copyright - I commissioned Paul B to complete the

graphic design to my ideas/thinking.



Happy for you to use it (imitation is the sincerest form... and all that).

The swirl across the tail is supposed to suggest a parachute (a past life)

so you may want to modify it for your own purposes.



I have artwork PDF if you want.

Paul,



It would be very kind of you if I could use the design. Personally I have no design flair whatsoever.



I see what you mean about the parachute. As I started this aviation thing with paragliding, perhaps it resonates with my history also?



The pdf would be great.



Thanks
