Custom Roof Graphic

I'm having a custom roof graphic designed for Skeeter, and was looking for any Mini owners that may have had this done. Once the artist/illustrator creates the template, I own it and can then have the graphic made where ever I want.
So looking for any info/cost on having a template of this size made.

I have a friend who owns a sign shop (Signs Now). They make graphic applications for cars all the time. They also install them. From small door signs, to full car marketing graphics.

You might check a local sign shop for pricing and options.

You could PM Dragonflyer (i.e. Aesthetic Creations) to see what he could do for you. I've seen some really nice custom roof graphics on his website.

I think that cooper flags will do the same.

Appreciate the posts.

As for local shops in this area I would not trust the quality.

I have contacted both Dragonflyer and Ed at Cooperflags, and the costly part is having the template made. The graphic I want to use has a lot of detail, colors, and shading......so it comes down to a lot of time and that equates to $$$$$.

If you can find a local sign-a-rama......which I'm sure you can(they're all over the place)....their quality will be just as good as any of the vendors here.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried the local shop here and was not impressed, and they did not seem excited about doing the graphic I want to use.

I reccomend a local vinyl graphics and sign shop.Not only can they design what you want(if there artist is any good) but you can proof it before final ok. Plus if they screw up install they just run another copy off and try again,no additional charge to you. I have purchased graphics from a couple of the online MINI dealers and have been happy with the quality of their work. However once it is in your hands you are on your own. If install isn't right its back to reorder and pay again. Best to let a trained pro install for you and even then no guarantees. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions, I just returned from a second visit to Sign-A-Rama and actually talked with the person that does the designing.
Paid for one hour of design time to make sure the graphic is the way I want it. If so, they will create and install the graphic on Skeeters sun roof.
Will update this thread when there is progress.
