I've recently bought a new (for me) 2014 Kia Grand Carnival. The plan is to turn it into a modern ECTO. As my appearance around this sub-forum reveals, I'm sorting out the artwork for the vehicle's decals. The plan is to have the decals made and installed by a shop.

Here is the concept for the decal layout:



The proper logo, striping, and text are easy enough to sort. The "Call Us" bit is the only unknown at this point. A combination of Filmotype Kingston and Rage Italic fonts (mixed in with a touch of a paintbrush in Photoshop) is the closest I've been able to get so far. The "Call Us" in this proof was pulled from a low resolution jpg.

At the moment I've requested four quotes for the decal work. I'm now waiting for any response.

Oops. Accidental reply.

I looooong to see an Ecto Ute. Do ittttttt.

Utes... the ugly union of a car and a truck. I never liked the El Camino when I lived in the U.S... I moved to Australia and the things are everywhere.

The Kia Carnival has a lot of interior space, which is great for hauling things like proton packs around.


Here's what I've got for the text decals:






You were right on the caution stripes... they should have more of an orange hue.

So wrong!

Despite only showing a Photoshop mock-up before, I actually do have the Kia.




It goes in to a sign shop on Wednesday for measuring. They'll take my artwork and make decals of it. Once that's ready (in a couple of days or so) I'll bring the Kia back in to get the decals applied.

Now I'm starting to look at roof rack possibilities.

The decal work has been ordered. It'll get installed on the Kia next week (a little longer than I expected).
The actual installation should only take an hour or so. While I was there, I ordered some decals for the roof rack.

And the decals are on.

I'll take better shots when it isn't overcast.

Looks awesome!!

I took the Ecto out for Free Comic Book Day today and was asked to park it up on the pavement in front of the shop.
