My wife has been known to paint "grilles" for race cars. My favourite grille of hers is the 37 Duesenburg she did for my mudbogger.

You are in Canada....that cant be far from here

....she says she will do it! ......for free if you cover the airfare.

Im sure you can find a vinyl place that can do it......but Denyse suggests if you cant.....buy a large piece of plain peel and stick vinyl.....cut it to size.....mail it to her and she would paint up the vinyl and mail it back to you.

or try these guys http://www.sunshineautographics.com/

We use the "print tiled" procedure to "grid" designs . It allows an accurate way to blow up a design to any size.

You photo ....then print tiled.....tape all the pieces together...and use as a pattern or template.
