Went back and read all the new stuff. Snuck out on the GS tonight for a few hours, but back now to keep designing my kitchen. No rest for the wicked I guess.
Anyway, about an appliqu? for the faces as chuck mentioned. Probably not the best solution. Will probably be close to the actual acrylic faces as far as price goes, and exactly the same amount of work. The thing about vinyl is, it shrinks, gets old, and goes for a crap. The acrylic used on previous orders was UV stable. A little more cake than the normal acrylic that we use for work, but good stuff. My faces still look like new, and they've been out in the hot sun for a lot of last summer.
Anyways, if you guys look all through the thread from the beginning, you can see the different designs and ideas. I kept a spreadsheet of what models and what years had what designs, so matching stuff up will be easy. I send out a proof in PDF with dimensions for you to check with your originals, and nothing gets made without your OK.
It usually takes a couple months to get enough people to commit to get started on an order. We'll have to see how much interest the still is. I usually start designing after about 10 people have committed, and then there's usually a few stragglers that come along to fill it in.
I'll hopefully talk to the new laser man this week, but I'm pretty crazy at work, so we'll see what I have time for.
