Another art major! Where? I have a BFA from the School of the Art Institure of Chicago. My teachers there would likely have HATED these things... a COMMERCIAL product based on FANTASY imagery? Heavens FORBID!!

Feel free to drop by or maybe we can meet for lunch or something - I think we'll be around. Dublin's a bit... "sleepy" (I'd say "boring") but it's great for kids and it's very safe so...

BTW, there was a counterfeit MINI SUV at the Dragon in 2005, too. It was a HOOT! I'm glad folks are feeling inspired by the magnetic graphics concept! Let's see how all y'all you-ify your MINIs for the Dragon! (Or in the South, would that be "y'all-ify?")

Sure! I have some extra red paint, actually, or if you have a specific shade you like to use, I can just bring them down unpainted. Let me know... I bought some magnet material this afternoon for my counterfeit stripes and there should be enough left over for a few sets.

I like the red of the "S", if you can do that. If not, bring 'em blank and I will paint them.

Well, it's Krylon spray apint specifically made for plastic, so it's a bright red (not a metallic). It's not a PERFECT match for Chilli Red but it's pretty close - very vivid. If you're thinking it might not be exactly what you're wanting I can just bring them unpainted. If you want me to put a coat of paint on 'em just let me know.

I buy sheets of magnets from "Richard" Blick art supply (can't say the "D" name in here). Don't know the manufacturer, but it comes in a 12" or a 24" roll, it's white and cuts easily with an Exacto knife.

Hey Darth........I got some really cool red dragon magnetics lined with black for contrast on line but I doubt I'll use them because my car is BRG (you've seen it). If you like them I'll give them to you. They are 5" long.

I'll have 4 extra sets (of 2 dragons for $5) if IMAGOX aka Matt doesn't have enough for everyone who wants some.
