Bout to vinyl my bowties...
Got some black vinyl from Customsense.biz, I'm making a prototype for a bowtie cover out of vinyl. Any ideas how to get the vinyl to stick around the edges of the bowtie where there are angles?

I'm going to try it. Just wondering if I should cut the vinyl the shape of a bowtie and put it on, or wrap it with the vinyl and then cut around the silver trim.

you may not be able to get it perfect, you are better off painting

It wasn't easy...I just got frustrated and made a vinyl bowtie and removed the stock one. It's since been replaced w/a SS emblem though...
