Abrasive Car Posters

[Abrasive]

Starting up a little side business from Green Bastard Products and thought I would offer these up to members here. These will probably make their way to the GBP product line eventually, but this is just getting started. I've only offered these to members of our local board until now, but I thought I would offer them up here with BGPM coming up soon.

Abrasive Car Posters are 16x20 posters of your car. These are done with your favorite photos and can say anything you would like on them. Most go for a mod list of some sort, but I can put whatever you want on it. You could even go with no text at all if you would just like a high quality collage of photos all on one poster.

These are photo quality and printed on one piece of heavy photo paper. It is not smaller photos or sheets pieced together in any way. You can use a photo or any kind of design for the background. I can also make you a custom background if you would like.

All I would need from you are the digital photos that you would like to include in the poster. If you are using one for the background, it has to be high resolution at a minimum of 1800x1440. I would also need what ever text you want included on the poster.

Once I receive what is needed from you, I will get to work on the poster. I will then email you a low res version for you to proof. Once everything is approved, payment will be required before printing. Once payment is received, your custom poster will be printed.

Price on these is $50 plus shipping. If shipped, they will arrived rolled and ready for framing in any 16x20 frame. If you are attending BGPM, I can deliver them to you there free of charge. I will also be donating a certificate for a free poster to Webracin as a BGPM giveaway.

Here are some examples of some I've done recently.

Mine is framed in an 18x24 frame with blue poster board behind it.

Nice! Damn good idea. I'd love to have one before Branson but I doubt i'll get any updated pics by then :-(. I plan on getting on in the future for sure!

[Iron Indian]

Just curious, how long does it take to make these?

[Reptile]

Shawn it doesn't take long at all to make them once he gets the pictures. They are very nicely done, and these pictures really don't do them justice. They are pure photo quality and have the same finish as a picture so they will last a very long time.

[Abrasive]

Thanks Brian. Exactly what he said. Once I get the pics, just a couple days before I send you digital version to proof. Once it's approved and paid, I can print and ship the same day in most cases.

BTW... if anyone want to send pics, my email is wonkyseadonkey@hotmail.com and I could look at them and give you a few ideas.

E-mail sent for ideas...

I'll be getting one, eventually. I've got a lot of things taking some major cash at the moment.

Holy Crap awsome work. I think i need a new camera for that res.

great work!

[Abrasive]

Thanks all. It's something I enjoy doing, so I'll be more than happy to get one together for you anytime you're ready.

As for the cameras, any 2 megapixel (or greater) camera should take photos plenty large enough to use. 1800 pixels is not really that large by today's standards. And like I mentioned before, only one for the background needs to be that large. All the others can be smaller since they get resized to anywhere from 200-350 pixels wide anyway. And if you don't have anything large enough, I can always do something like the poster I put together for my old Mustang above.

how much you charge to make one like yours?

You mean frame and all? I would prefer not to ship it framed, besides, the frame is only $7 at Wal-mart and the posterboard is less than a buck. Easy to put together yourself, and they will fit into a 16x20 frame without the need for the posterboard if you prefer.

If you mean just a poster itself like mine, ready for framing, with all the text, pics and layout work... it's all included for the $50.

is the poster card laminate in clear plastic? i still have few more mods i want to have done. when i'm ready i'll give you a holler. thanks!

[Abrasive]

Not sure I follow, but I'll give it a try. The poster is not laminated in any way. It would arrive and look exactly like if you took in a roll of film and had prints made from that. Same type of paper as you would see on any photograph with a mat finish. Except it would be much larger (16x20, but I am checking into doing larger sizes) and have all the text and supporting pictures right in the picture on a single sheet. I'm doing all the layout in photoshop, so the finished product is all one image. I know someone on our local boards had thought they were individual pictures I just pasted together like scrapbooking I guess, but that is not what this is.

If you are going to Branson, I know there will be a few I've done there that you can see in person.

I'm in like flin for one...just trying to think and figure out what I want mine to look like.

Debating the mod list...cause that can always change at a moments notice with me.

that answer my question "mat finish" was what i sorta referring to.

May be interested in one for a 1996 Jaguar XJS as a gift to my father. Looks like a great product!

No problem, I'll do one for any car, truck, motorcycle, whatever. Just let me know.

Got my own email setup now, so you can all contact me at abrasiveposters(at)comcast.net

All I can say is that these are SSHHHWEEEEETTTT posters and he does a great job on them! I was lucky enough to win one of them at the show and am sorting out a good pic for my background. I did get a chance to take a few pics where we did all the burnouts with the hills in the background and when I get home I will see how they turned out. If nothing else I will have to strolllll on out to KC for some new scenery
