Raised letters/emblems

another good way to do it is to tape off the area where the logo is gonna go, then glass that area (bigger than needed) let it dry. cut out the logo with an air saw or dremel or what ever, then attach it in place. then using a high build primer spray the entire box and then sand and finish as normal, it will look like it is pressed out.i will see if i can post some pics to show what it looks like.

Yeah please do I would like to see that for future reference.Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

ever hear of using dynamat? just standard dynamat take a photocopy of what you want use a little spray adhesive to stick it to the dynamat, now just use a utility knife to cut it out, stick it where you want it. this method works best when it will be covered with some kind of fabric or vinyl, what ever floats your boat.

the dynamat thing works really good if it will be covered in vinyl......another thing that can be used is the same vinyl that you are covering it in.....put some glue on bothe pieces, lay a patch of vinyl big enough to get the logo, then cut it out of the vinyl, then cover it again.....it will be more subtle and works better if the vinyl is a lighter color......blacks and darker colors are hard to see the details of the letters or logo.

DukeDuke.........you have mail i sent a PM to ya lemme know if that is what you are looking for

Crap I wanted to see the pics too.Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

this is a rough run through on how do do it the way i was talking about in the above post..... http://community.webshots.com/user/installguy

thats pretty sweet...came out really well.

That is an awesome idea man, and that looks sweet. So let me see if I got this right because I may try and do that sometime. Tell me if I get this right,  ok you cut the letters out, cut the gear out.  You then glassed the gear onto the box. Then you took it off, and glassed the letters cut them out, and then placed them on top of the gear piece.  And resined it to the box, correct? Or did I miss something? Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

i glassed a flat surface for the letters, then glassed the contour of the the box big enough for the gear, then i cut both of them out, i put resin on the box and set the gear in place, then i duraglassed up to it. then i resined the gear part and put the letters in place. then i did a little bit of sanding then i poly primed it all and sanded it, then primed it the sanded, then color then clear. that is the basic idea of what was done
