Getting decals made...where!?
Hi.
I'm restoring an old bike and it needed a new paint job to tend to a quite severe amount of rust. Of course doing this ment removing all the existing lovely old style decals which are IMPOSSIBLE to find now. So I have a friend who is ultra handy with Adobe Illustrator and has drawn me up new ones. Question is does anyone know of a good place to get the decals printed, as looking up the yellow pages is a bit daunting, not knowing who is good, if any are familiar with doing bike specific decals... etc.
I'm in the Melbourne area but I'm sure most places will accept files via email so if anyone knows of any place that would be great!
thanks.

There's a fellow from your area who makes beautiful decal sets for vintage bikes. His e-Bay store is at this link:

He's located in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia

It sounds like he wants custom decals made rather than stock x-brand decals (being he mentions using illustrator and having them printed)
Might be kind of cool to know
