Decals?
I was not sure if this was the right forum but thought you guys could point me in the right direction.
Would like some custom decals for our touring bikes. They are LHT's with a powder coat finish so there would be no clear coat over it.
Thanks!

Do you just want the regular Surly decals? Niagara (and many others) have them.

Yup, I do that all the time.
They don't have to be clear coated, but it helps. When I've painted a frame and applied my own water slide decals, the decals have held up about as well as the rest of the paint.

I ordered some custom stickers here: Vinyl Lettering | Custom Vinyl Lettering
I went super cheap and it came out like this for the first round: fahrrad
I sprayed clear matte over the label. I've ordered another batch, but not applied them yet.

super! The second batch I've ordered I'm hoping I can wrap the tubes on a frame I just powder coated - I'm using two stickers on each side of the down tube and seat tube; the goal will be to make it look like white bands with the label ("Detroit Bikes") in the label. They sold me a head badge, and I attempted to match the font. Hopefully photos this weekend or next.
I couldn't figure out how to make a tube-wrap with a single label. I may email the printer if I'm not happy with how it turns out.
