I'm wanting to paint on a vehicle the bolt face symbol.  

Where I can find a bolt face pic that is about 12'' in diameter, that can be downloaded and printed in black and white?

Im no photoshop guru, but I suppose you could take the ARFCOM bolt face logo, make it into a vector shape in PS, and enlarge it.

Copy the bolt face from the AR15 add.
Plop it into photoshop
Crop out what you don't want.
Write it out as a *.GIF or *.JPG
Take the file to a print shop that handles vynal lettering
Have them print it up in vynal
Apply to car.

Alternative:
Use masking tape to make image of bolt face
Spray with silver paint
Use pin striping paint brush to add detail around edges
Spray with clear overcoat
Buf when dry.

Thanks.  Actually I will use both methods here, and basically make a stencil, because I'm having a complete paint job done on the truck, and it will be easier to let the pro, paint in the stencil.  Just want something to give him.

The boltface logo is trademarked by the owner of ar15.com, and he's very particular about protecting it from trademark infringement.

We are willing to do these things for you guys, we're just being protective of 3rd parties using the trademark without our consent.

For example, we can most likely cut the vinyl decal for your car in the size you'd like and color you need. If we have to get a new color we'll discuss that with you and any additional costs. Just email me what you had in mind and we'll go from there.

By the way a lot of people have the smaller stickers on their cars already so this isn't much of a stretch. The vault doors with them look great too!

Thanks.  I wouldn't have wanted to violate any trademarks.  I'll send an email shortly.
