Decals for a Benotto
Anyone have any ideas for how I could go about replacing the decals on my Benotto. It's a 80s silver/black Benotto, I guess the model is "Traithlon"... the frame itself is in near perfect condition but the decals are rotting and scraped up. I read that someone on here pulled the decals off and took them in to be duplicated, but there's no hope of that for these. Anyone know where I might be able to find some NOS decals or replications?

Why not get it cut on plastic or a similar sticker and spray paint it on the frame and then clear coat it. Thet's how they did it in the 70's and the 80's.

When I restored my 1988 Benotto 800, The old decals were carefully removed and then taken to a local Signs Now franchise store. They made absolutely perfect reproductions on sticky back mylar. They gave me two complete sets for $40. If you're afraid the old ones may fall apart if you try to remove them, take the whole frame into a local sign shop.
