Bought my wife a cricut machine for Christmas and we were messing around with it.

I was able to make a scan of the sticker that came with my shiftworks kit and convert it to a svg file. She was then able cut it out on some vinyl. I used the vinyl template as a mask to spray the lettering directly to the console plate, after I peeled off the mask I coated the whole thing with clear.

Yes I could have used the sticker that came with my shiftworks kit, but the lettering is light green and I wanted white to match the lettering on my VHX guages. All about the details

This is a vinyl cutting machine, like a sign maker uses?

Kind of, it's more for making t-shirts, cutting craft foam and putting stickers on coffee mugs.
