Why they called "Waterslide"?

[SFRT]

they are water transfer. old school. not stickers.

[aussiemuscle]

old school? they are still used on model cars!

That last one is pretty sick I'd love one for my truck.  How are you guys doing the artwork for them?

pen and ink! that gets scanned in, vectorized and color seperated in illustrator and then. The printer we are using mostly does pinball machine glass restoration he is really good.

the decals are then silkscreened onto the special paper.

starting on the second set...

I'll have a few sheets available for sale.

Figured you guys were using vectors, artwork looks great.  I can do vectors but I can't do pen and ink stuff.  Sounds like fun stuff, I'd like to do it at work.

Just curious, Who might that be? Been working on/restoring pinball machines since I was in High School and wondering if they are one of the standard suppliers in the hobby.

Its a guy called wade in Fresno. mostly does restorations, but occasionally does complete 'new' machines with special themes. He and donnie recently did special 1 off machines for Metallica and The Hellacopters. Currently I am working on the art for a machine of my own, it will be a 1-off.

well....for this day and age on forums, yes

but if you see a biker with FTW tattooed on his or her body I can pretty much guarantee it doesn't mean "for the win".

Not familiar with his work, but then again I have been distracted from Pinball by family duties the last few years. Sounds cool. A good friend of mine that used to work for Bally/Williams made his own pinball and video game by reverse engineering and writing his own code for the systems.

The decals look stellar and I am very impressed with you folks ability to draw it in pen and ink.
