Auto-x Numbers (static cling, Vinyl...)

[Ron Bauer]

Auto-x Number Special (Static cling, magnetic, vinyl...)

I thought I would post about a place that I have been having great luck with in printing static cling numbers for my car and many other people that approach me. So if your looking for a set and don't want to spend too much money its a great deal.

Printed on Static clings run approx. $10-15 per square foot.
Magnet based designs come in various sizes and pricing.
Vinyl is fairly inexpesive as well...

You can easily design your own numbers and class lettering in Word, Photoshop, or the likes. It can be simple or fancy its all up to you, just remember it needs to be clearly readable from a distance. Or you can simply specify color, font, and size (per guidelines below). MS Word & the WordArt feature works very well.

There are so many design factors it is best to be very specific in what you want.

When obtaining a quote for static cling (with or without your own design) please specify:
- To be used on the outside of the car
- Clear, white, or specific colored static cling material (background material)
Personally I would always suggest clear unless you are being creative with a number in a white circle or the likes...
- Rounded edges on the static cling material (easier to remove)
- What color lettering? I.e. White, black, white with a black outline, white with a red outline...
- Approx. height & width of numbers and letters. I.e. Number is 10" tall X 5" wide...
- Delivery method

When designing - Remember SCCA guidelines state:
3.7 VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
A. All vehicles must display numbers and class letters on both
sides, which must be readable by Timing & Scoring, Course, and
Grid workers at all times.

C. Class shall be represented by the upper-case abbreviated form
rather than be spelled out. Ladies’ classes shall be indicated by
the letter “L” following the class letters. (Example: “BSPL” instead
of “B Street Prepared Ladies”).

D. Numbers and class letters should be positioned next to each
other. All letters and numbers must be on body panels, not on
windows. All numbers and class letters must use the same
typeface and the same color, and this color must provide adequate
contrast to the background color (see Appendix F for
examples).

E. Numbers must be a minimum of 8" high with a 1.25" stroke.
Class letters must be a minimum of 4" high with a 0.75" stroke.
In all cases, the height of the class letters must be between 25%
and 75% of the height of the numbers. Stroke width must be at
least 10% of the height. (See Appendix F.)

F. The “1” on two-driver cars and the “L” on Ladies class cars are
subject to all of the above requirements with regard to placement,
color, size, and stroke.

NOTE: I have no ownership interest nor do I work there. I am just posting this as a favor to folks that need numbers. I have had very good luck with the store and have designed all of my own stuff for them to print. Request for quotes do not come to me!
