Any one knows,where and how to get custom made decals for specific projects?
I just finished building a fire chief pickup truck and would love to customize it with decals.
Thanks. Jack

Kaptain Jack, I don't know where in the world you are based, but if in or near the UK, Screen Print Digital are brilliant. They custom made my Harley logos for my Knight Hauler exactly as I wanted them. They were extremely helpful and willing to work with me to achieve the desired result and even asked for pics of the truck when finished.

Here is their Ebay shop:

Not a problem Kaptain Jack.

Bricknick, those don't have to be made, they have them for the van and reefer pre-made, off the shelf.

Brilliant to be honest. I provided them with very high res images that I got online. If you can give them the scripting of the image, they can import into the their plotter and get it perfect.

The only thing I will say about vinyl graphics is that they are approx 0.5mm thick, so they are a tiny bit raised. It can't be helped, it would be very hard, if not impossible and very costly to airbrush very detailed logos, so I think it's a sacrafice that I can accept. A few coats of clear helps to blend and give it a smooth finish.

cool!!
I emailed Jbot about enlarging a set of 1/25 decals for me
and to make me 3 sets of them..:D he asked me for a pic of the decals
so i sent him a real nice pic with the size of the decal page
and that i could send the 1/25 decals for the job. Next email back
is he charges $20 per hr and would have to redraw all the art work
for a grand total of $300.00 and 3 sets of decals :eek:
