These guys show a custom speedo as one of their examples....I believe I've found the answer in dryrub They list a 3 color 4x6 at $168...but this is all one print that they align vs 3 1 color prints I'd need to align with the cheaper option [url]http://www.drytransfer.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAoOz-BRBdEiwAyuvA6wH7FR7zDw9lH5pvjCktB6brKfbMEB730aRU6pEWOy59Ik6GWUs9YBoC9X4QAvD_BwE [/url]

I did the sketch for the hash marks and they look right. my plan is use the center and highbeam holes to register the transfer correctly on the faceplate. hopefully have something decent by the end of the weekend. New donor tach should arrive tomorrow.

finished the numbers tonight....I think they look pretty good...and it goods to 11. Changing the colors makes them look a little slimmer than OEM for some reason....may need to fatten them up, but they are drawn not just pasted images so its easy to adjust anything but it looks right with the background off. The rest of the stuff I'm going to try to paste on, we'll see how that goes.

I may try overlaying on the image..not sure Got the rest done. The small stuff vanished into the back when the background is on, so for sure the rendering is not perfect.

I like the slimmer numbers better, but you do need to be able to see the prancing horse and Veglia Borletti |

I only changed the big numbers, everything else is as was. All the numbers and the letters in "electronic" are models not a real font I could find, the horse as a spline laid over and image, highbeam symblom modeled, THE VEGLIA BORLETTI is open sans done letter by letter to get the spacing to look right. It took forever but pretty much everything can be adjusted so something to show for it. Its in onshape and public, here's a link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/50d61 ... 100299e073 |

Transfers ordered. The cheap price is for 20 day max to ship then cheap shipping is 10 days, so by the end of Jan I guess....unless its 20 business days then mid Feb, $76. I realized why the images looked different with the background on or off....hide edges command was needed. Then the fight to go from CAD to graphic. Th transfer place had a link to an illustrator like program "inkscape" which I literally could not figure out how to make it do anything, anything at all useful or otherwise. I exported the model as an STL, paint3D imported that and exported a pgn, I found "GIMP" which imported the png and the pdf template from the transfer place as xcf, and once I figured out the correct scaling I could edit the graphic in .xcf format, paste it the now xcf template, then export the finished product as a pdf again because the transfer place doesn't support xcf....but that was good because then I could open the pdf with adobe and print it 1:1 to confirm everything looked right. Clearly there must be an easier way but this worked I think and here is the result. There was room so I decided extra harsh marks would be the best way to register the 3 prints on the the face. The white I left full, again for registrations to see where everything will be before transferring anything.
