MINIclo's Wanda gets a new look...

Aesthetic Creations strikes again. And just before the dragon.

Miniclo wanted something a little different on her sunroof. This UJ was set up using High performance matalic silver and dark silver.

Take a look.

I like the look of the metallic bonnet stripes alot!! You're starting to give me ideas about my own car. However, looks like maybe the photo of the roof doesn't doesn't show the full effect of the materials used there. Got another picture?

Since I have seen it in person, I can at least give a good description.

Most of the people selling roof graphics are printing the graphics on white vinyl. Although this is the easiest and cheapest way to do it, the printing will fade over time and printed graphics should be considered a somewhat temporary accessory (both MINIclo and I have recently removed our perforated cooperflags UJ sunroof flags that began to disintegrate in less than a year).

MINIclo's new sunroof graphic is custom made from 3 different solid colors of vinyl. First, a silver background is laid down, and then the black and dark silver layers are added. This requires much more labor and precision to get it right, but once done, these pieces of solid vinyl are expected to have a 5+ year lifespan.

If I ever do another roof graphic, I will definitely have my flag built from solid colored vinyl instead of the cheaper printed stuff.

Yes, it was her 2nd Birthday present, Part One!

She looked beautiful until she drove through a surprise snow storm near Flagstaff (and the salty roads)! Then a few hours later, she was struck by a HUGE dust storm on I-40, 90 minutes west of Albuquerque, where I was meeting Yucca at the airport.

So, I had told YuccaPatrol to be on the lookout for a gorgeous Wanda, and she looked like she'd been splattered with soot, ash and you couldn't even tell she was black!

Yucca gave her a nice little bath on Monday morning and she looks pretty again!

P.S. The AesthetiCreation.net decal was too distracting, so I removed it. I couldn't tell at night, but in the daylight, the letters came too far into my sightline.
