One of my professors knows I play around with bikes and asked me to fix up her old Gitane. She says she bought it in 1974 brand new. It isn't a collector's item or anything, but she loves it. I got it all apart and have been cleaning and polishing all the parts.

My problem is this: The paint and stickers are in real bad condition. There are some rust spots on the frame as well. I want to repaint it but I'm going to have to replace the stickers. How would I go about this without damaging my wallet? It was easy enough to redesign them in Photoshop, I just need a way to make stickers out of them.
