It's called iron-on transfer paper or just printer transfer paper, I always use it to make cool tees. It's certainly not the same as spray-painting a shirt, but, um, I think it will look a lot better. You could make a ghetto-ass spray-paint logo in Photoshop and then just print it and iron it on- instructions come with the paper. You can buy it at any fabric store.

Dude i've tried using spraypaint on T's and it fades too quickly. I now use fabric paint and a small roller, like the ones you use to paint walls but only 4inches wide. Place the stencil over the hoodie and just use to roller to apply the paint. It works well but will still fade. Try leaving the stencil on until it is dry then putting a second layer on and maybe hand wash. Turn it inside out at least if you're machine washing it.

You need to silk-screen them to get good results I think. Send Scotland a message - he made himself a really nice very with Armada, Siver and 4 Front logos on it that looks great - I never would have thought he made it himself. He's away for a while just now though I think, so he might take a while to respond.

ive done this to two hoodies of mine, just put a piece of ducttape over the shitty design on there ( i had some gay construction one and a AE one) so you jsut put a piece of ducttape over that then print something out on the computer and stencil that shit over the ducctape it looks sick
