Here's a truck lettering job I knocked out friday...
I did the stone effect cutting the grey vinyl and, before weeding it, spattered black and white OS paints with a couple of tooth brushes, then painting the cracks with a mix of white and black paints with UV Clearcoat. As the paint was drying, all the black and white vinyls were applied, then the grey. Using the same clear/paint mixes, the bevels were painted on by hand. Using the UV clear instead of the tinting clear not only dries fast, but adheres better to the vinyl.
A few painted pinstripes later and that's all she wrote.

(is it the angle of the pic, or is the black outline around the A of Aggregate, a lot skinnier than that around the right side of the last E ?)
