We had the opportunity for a unique project recently. We were given an old motorcycle wheel and asked to put the name on it but to "grunge it up a little so it looks weathered."
First we added the gold inlay, then the lettering, and finally aged it for the "grungy" look.
Our initial thought was to laser engrave the lettering, but it just wasn't marking it the way we wanted. We had to put our problem solving hats on, so... to the vinyl cutting machine we go! Letter stencils were designed and cut out, painted over, grunged up, and clearcoated.
This was a wedding gift, and the couple loved it!
