Yes, Greg is still offering his well made decals to guys and gals like you and me. I think his product is excellent. Just do a decal search on Ebay and you are off to the races, so to speak.

Pinarello is still in business? Maybe you can get them from them. Velocals.com makes really nice ones as well.

JR does make some nice decals. However, they are adhesive vinyl, and considerably thicker than what Pinarello used back in the day.
This isn't a bad thing, however, since Pinarello's decals usually had very little or no clear coat over them, and they peeled/wore off very easily. JR does have the ability to do waterslide, though.
The one thing about JR's vinyl, is that there will be a very small clear edge where they are cut that sticks out from the colored part of the decal. On a set for a Pinarello, if you didn't like that, it would be a royal pain to trim that off.

I bought a set from this seller on ebay. He has 2 sets. I got the 9 decal set.

They come in a single sheet and you need to seperate them out. Look high quality.
My problem is they are larger than the ones on the bike. It is the same font but 3" larger.
The paint has a different color under where the decals used to be so I can't just put the larger one over that spot.
What is your advise on how to do this the best way.
Do I need to mask and paint under 1st. I tried cleaning with alcohol and nail polish remover without any luck. Should I sand paper instead?
Should I cut them one letter at a time instead?
Any advise is appreciated. Thanks
