For the beginning I have:<br />
<br />
Gloss White<br />

<br />
I will be making MNGarageGeek decals out of this. Probably in a couple of variations. <br />
<br />
I do have a Vinyl cutter that can cut 24&quot; x 50 feet, so if anyone is looking for anything special/unique (doesn&#039;t have to be MNGG related), just PM me and we can probably work something out.]]></content:encoded>
