I had some covers made for my modified Kustom tuck and roll cabinets, and I am wanting to put the Kustom logo on the covers - first reason is to show my Kustom pride, and secondly, to identify the front of the cover from the rear. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated !

What are the covers made from fabric or vinyl?

If they are fabric you could have the logos sewn on like an applique or embroidered on.

If they are vinyl, silk screening is probably the best way. Or I guess that diecut sign vinyl would work, as long as they didn't need folding.

I've been wanting to try the EZScreenprint stuff, as it is a simple way to diy screen print.

They are vinyl - actually look to be Naugahyde - smooth grain.

The ez screenprinting stuff works well and is easy to use. If someone has a good solid black on white replica of the script "Kustom" logo, I'd be happy to turn it into a screen. I think I've got enough material to do 3 or 4.

Some 15 years ago I had to redo the logo on one of my K250 covers.
I got some Testers silver enamel model paint which is a good match, and a friend gave me some automotive flex additive for the paint. I was lucky as my cover still had a good outline from where the logo was.
I painted in the logo with a 1/4" wide fine hair brush and it came out great, but it took some two weeks to fully dry. Had I known I could have mixed in some Enamel thinner to have iot dry in a normal time.
So far its held up great and has had alot of use and recovers well from being folded.

My fiance's son is in the sign business, and I was unaware that they also do decals. I am going to try the vinyl decal route first - I just need to find a good rendering of the Kustom logo to scan - do any of you have it ?? Hell, the price is right (free) !!
