So mine was done entirely on a cricut. Very tedious. Kart Vinyl - #72 by Bert_Nash
There’s two possible processes with a cricut:
- Traditional: Print-cut-apply.
Need:
Printable sticker vinyl (not waterproof)
Clear waterproof vinyl to seal the design
Recommended:
A quality inkjet printer (the bigger the better, max 12"x24")
The biggest Cricut mat 12"x24"
You’ll need to design your graphic, break it into parts that can be cut, print then cut, seal it with the clear vinyl, and apply it to your kart. It’s worth noting that if you have a printer capable of printing a graphic that large, it’s probably easier to print a border and cut it out with some scissors. The cricut is overkill for cutting out a relatively simple shape.
- Cut a design out of permeant water proof vinyl (this is what I did)
Need:
Permanent waterproof vinyl
Make a design, cut it out, put it on the kart.
My two recommendations would be a super simple design like the stripes above, or a design that doesn’t really follow the lines of the kart like my “testing camo” livery. You’re basically putting stickers on the kart, and scaling them properly is really hard. I just ignored the shape of the kart and went to town with a bunch of weird shapes.
