M20E window rounded corners


TWinter

It was rainy today so thought I would give this a try. Rounded the look of the windows. I think it made it look more current.


From the album:

The vinyl was leftover high performance vinyl. It really only took about a 2' x 1' piece. Really not much, but buy some extra for screw up cuts. You could purchase a piece at any sign shop. They probably have some in there scrap-box they may even give you.

 

The rest is just cutting to fit. Most of it is illusion as you are really just using less than a half inch by 2" of vinyl in each corner.

 

Use a can (spray paint) or any round object as a template and cut around the can to make the smooth half circle. Use an Exacto knife for the cuts. Make the cuts outs on a flat table and then place it against the plane. Remove the rear paper liner of the vinyl and keep the sticky side wet allowing movement on the plane.

 

Place the cut-out in each corner. Apply water to the back to allow you to move as desired and then apply some light heat with a heat gun..be careful. Very carefully cut the excess over lap. Use a gentle hand and do not cut too deep and scratch the plexi on the window or scratch the paint. Take your time..  Or, hire a local sign shop guy that deals with vinyl to do it.
