I made a small improvement to my sunglasses.



Was planning to paint, but I wasn't sure how well paint would adhere to the hardened plastic (technically "Triloidtm Nylon") frames. Ended up printing a pic on glossy photo paper, turning it into a sticker with a Xyron Sticker Maker*, giving it a couple of clear protective coats, cutting out the two logos (one for each side), and then sticking them in place. Not quite as sleek as the painted-on look, and I'm not sure how long it'll really last, but for now, I'm happy. And, not wanting to waste too much of a 4x6 shet, I've got plenty of replacements available if I need them...

*Mine is the same model, but the casing is clear and the branding is from the Discovery Channel, not Tomy Cella, whatever that is.

Thank you. :) I tried to keep it subtle, but it makes me happy. Be interesting to see how many people notice/recognize it...
