Arc Intercooler Stencil For Repainting The Original Logo

[kylieyeah]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there existed a stencil for the ARC symbol for intercoolers.

I have a twin entry M079 ARC intercooler for a BNR34 but as you can see from the image below, the symbol has faded quite a bit. Although, it did start off as white colour.

I know I can print one out, but to get the exact height, width etc would almost be almost impossible.

Wouldn't be too hard David.

Gave you got a sticker guy down there? They could measure it up and do their thing.

Measure the entire grill area and locate where the ARC stands. Then they print out a vinyl stencil cut out, spray away.

I wouldn't mind getting hold of the template if you can get one done aswell. You can't even make out the ARC letters on my cooler.

Also, just out of interest - have you got your bov's plumed back with this set-up and what intake set-up are you running? (stock box/pods/arc box etc)

same problem here, Wouldnt mind respraying it

Someone do the stencil thing as Owgasm recommended please and I'll buy it haha.

I've emailed ARC brazing to see if they can provide a stencil, but I highly doubt the chances of that happening.

Also need some hard pipes on that twin entry

if you can still make out the writing (you can on yours, but this comment is also for others wanting the stencil as well), simply mask up along the edges of the writing (and then tape up some newspaper obviously) and then you can spray it. just do a few light coats to minimalise the spray getting in under the tape between the fins.

you could also make a stencil for future use if you wanted. simply mask it up, get a sheet of clear contact or sticker vinyl, stick it over the tape, get a craft knife and run it around the inside edge of the tape (making sure to leave little tabs to the inside of the A and the R so they always go back in the same spot every time). then pull it of and stick it back onto the backing, or some thin plastic. then simply cut out the stencil. or simply trace around on some tracing paper after masking up, and then you can trace it onto some contact to stick on next time you want to paint it.

I got a Hi-Res pic of the ARC Logo if you need.

It's an EPS file, so Adobe Illustrator will open it and you can just re-size it what you want.

You can grab a vector from here.

I'll guess I'll try to do this first! Use masking tape, as making a stencil seems pretty hard. Although I guess the issue would be getting the curved edges to be exact. I guess I'll do a DIY if I try it and turns out something like this!

making a stencil is pretty easy, get someone to load the vector up and print it to the correct size, , mark it up on some manila folder material etc, cut it out with a sharp blade, stick it over and spray it.

Mines faded too so I need a stencil

If anyone has the file please pm me

Cheers

Okay guys! This method about making a stencil would be great!

If someone would like to make one, I will happily chip in with them and help get it made up. I just dont have any hook ups to a sticker/stencil maker or anything.

Would be great if someone could organise! I'm very keen on getting this ARC symbol looking new again and will do whatever is reasonable!

[SiR_RB]

Yeh I'm willing to pay someone to make a stencil to fit a Gtr arc cooler

if you use a thin tape to tape it up you should be able to get the curve right, as well as cutting it with a craft knife

"I made my own stencil" it wasn't easy come up alright just gave it light coat.
