Those of you who do a lot of truck lettering will probably recognise this name, or something like it. (Talk about logo piracy!!!!)

This is a name on the transom of a trucking customer's boat. Obviously, he is a nut about Peterbilt trucks so this was the name he requested. All 2 mil vinyl, airbrushed with automotive basecoat/clearcoat. Sorry the pic is so dark but the boat was inside and I couldn't get it outside to get a better pic.

Rick...Nope the clear doesn't wrinkle the vinyl, but the basecoat will if applied too wet. I used to find that happened sometimes when I was using a touch-up gun to spray it. But since getting an airbrush I have no problem with wrinkling, it just doesn't put out enough volume to saturate the vinyl.
