I have been trying to find a company that can make me a paint mask but having little to no luck. I found one company in CA that claims they can do it but would need a vector graphic of what I want. I am not very good with Illustrator or Corell Draw even though the design I want is extremely simple (in my opinion), so I need to find a company that can do it all.

Does anyone know of such a company??

Thanks.

:above:, would a Graphic/vinyl shop be able to make it? Are you looking for like a vehicle wrap but just for the front end like a Bra?

All I want is a honeycomb pattern like the one below. I'm not sure of the overall size or the size of the pattern as my parts aren't here yet.

I don't know what they make it out of material wise but it's a laser (or something) cut sticker that you put on a car and then peel out the pieces revealing the areas that will be painted and leaving behind a mask that blocks the paint.

Got a local Fastsigns shop?

Once you see how large you want it, the sign shop should have an art dweeb on staff who can make the layout. Then they'll cut it - it's just a razor cut as lasers are overkill for cutting masking paper.

They can make it out of vinyl, but that would be a little more expensive than you need - see if they can cut it on a contact paper stock that you can tear off after to you paint it.

Unless its a heat treated part you can also do it in reverse and just let the vinyl be the finish.
