Some users told me about a printint test if I think I would get a better results of actual. I like challenges and I knew how to do it!
With "Out Run Steering Wheel Emblem" artwork from SEGA restored some weeks ago, let´s go to start.
My point is to get the best aproximation possible for you with a few money .
- What I need?
1) A perfect restoration or original designing, it is 50% of our succesful!

2) An ideal print support. In this case the best option was a piece of "Pearled Silver Vinyl (3M)". It is 20 % of a good printed work!

Because I want to order a cheap test, I had the idea of a transparent paper. :lol:
3) A colour match test (one or more) for to compare with original piece. It is 10% for to get a perfect work!
In this example, we can not see a conventional colour match test, but it works almost in same way.

4) Good print machine: No banding, no grain, no error, perfect accuracy, good inks, etc. It is anoher 20% for a perfect work!
- How much and why was so cheap?
The most expensive thing was "Pearled Silver Vinyl (3M). It cost about 30€ per metre, but I have a sample from a old customized work I did for a friend and his bike.

- What is your analysis?
I was very sure about first sample and it was the winner in my opinion.
This aproximation is the best I saw to original. I think it honestly!
The most important for us: it can be cheap, even with a glossy protective lamination and a precut by machine.
I think it can become an easy spare for to stick over your original. In that way, you will conserve your original.
