I think the water slide decals leave something to be desired.

Fender guitars used them, that style of decal perhaps were more common in past eras.

How to Make Custom Waterslide Decals - UPDATED - by David @ LumberJocks.com ~ woodworking community

Article on making one's own decals and yes, I am familiar that some outfits sell Raleigh decals.

I'll take the model name of the bike scripted on to the frame about any day over the decals.
If they were original 60's or 70's Raleigh transfers, they will function as waterslide decals but are not, they are varnish fix, a whole different animal that will sort of act like water slide decals but will be terribly fragile.
