Default Numbers and stripes?

I don't have photoshop, but a cheaper downgraded program. I was thinking about some magnetic number signs for the side to use at events such as Tail of the Dragon, etc... I figured 16" diameter would be about right. Your thoughts on the size? 04 for the year of the car. Will the magnetic sign cause any harm to the paint if only used occasionally?

Also I thought about a 'mustang' type stripe on the rocker panel in silver to match the trim. About 2" wide with 1/4" stripes on each side of it. That would be permament. The stripe would rap around the rear and cut short to the air difusser. The front would taper off parallel to the lower grille. Just some ideas for now.

You can always have a cling type made. Easier on the paint finish.

The cling type those that you see school decals made of. They are a clingy plastic that adhere to glass or painted surfaces, but are removable. I'm sure any graphics sign shop can make them for you. Contact TBIRD, he might be able to help you. He owns a sign business.

And I think it is important to note that those cars are actually RACED!

Most companies that makes signs, make the vinyl cling and magnetic ones. You should check with them. See how it looks. Here in College Station, TX, at Texas World Speedway, a lot of the guys use the cling on ones to race there cars on the weekends.
