Paint stencil needed..

[OJ86]

Before I commit to a font that I chose in my cutting programs, does anyone have a vector image of this emblem? My software cant seem to trace a clean image of it and I cant find anything anywhere online.

If you can't find a vector version of the image a site/App like https://www.vectorizer.io/ can be used to convert what you have into a vector image. Adobe Illustrator and Corell Draw can also be used if you have access to either. If all else fails I can ask my son to convert your graphic into a vector format.

the trace functions in any of these programs never give a very clean outline with hundreds of nodes and by the time it does the trace then you clean it up you have spent far more time than it would have taken for you to just trace it manually. i gave up on the trace 20 years ago. you should be able to hand draw that 302 off that picture with most vector software in 5-10 min and you will have a super clean and precise file.

if you dont really know how then i could do it maybe over the weekend when i get a few min, just let me know.

Ya, I was going to hand draw it today at work if I couldn't find anything readily available. I appreciate the response!

I just drew it in MS paint, lol I dont know why I didnt think of that in the first place. Close enough for a hood that will probably get destroyed in a nitrous backfire.

I have 2 fonts on my program which are really close except for the lower connecting hyphen bar which will likely have to be redrawn or letter spacing kerning but likely could be manipulated to work if you have a program capable of this
Best is named Millenium BdEx BT an almost exact match with the numbers outlined which you can download at most any free font site. defontfree,freefont,etc.
Second is 911 Porscha has the elongated,block type design,no outline. Very close as well. Same sites

That looks great. Was typing when you posted. Good luck and Nitrous hoods are not long lived as you said.

Thank you for the fonts!

There is a free website "What the Font" that does a good job of identifying the font in an image https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

Money shot right there. No pun intended.

Yeah the hood scoops don't stand a chance with a nitrous backfire.
But the racers know OJ can fix 'em right back again!!

Finally got a chance to work on this one. Its a shame they made a race car out of what was once an original DZ302 car.

I should have oulined the pearl white with something other than bright silver, but it was late and my "give a fuck" was suuuuper low at the moment and this silver was on my bench!

That came out nice!
