anyone out there printed their own decals?

ive heard you can get them done at a sign shop?

any ideas?

When i used to race Remote Control Cars they were selling a little machine that you could hook up to a computer a print out stickers. They sell it in a magazine called RC Car Action. It is probably in the long run cheaper because sign shops and shops like that usually need to make a minumum amount and it gets costly.

a lot of times, sign shops can make you a die cut sticker fairly cheap. I don't think you have to do a minimum amout of stickers. If you want inexpensive black and white stickers printed, www.dieselfuelprints.com is the best.

I heard somewhere that you can use stencils to get the bike decal effect. He he he.

thanks all - ill be heading out to the local sign shop and see what they have to say

dv - yea - but are you gonna cut out all those letters?

Bummmmmmmp. Vintage thread.

Hey, al5, did you ever do this? Are you still around?

no.

there was a member on BF who made his own vinyl decals.. i knoW it!!
he did custom graphics for import tuner ricers
he posted a series of photos that showed him at an event and trashing his front quarter panel in an accident of some sorts

i forget his name/UN, but i think he had an black IRO frame with a sweeeeeeet decal covering his downtube. it looked like graffiti.
i think he had blue tires at the time and bullhorns.

now once upon a time he offered to pump out the vinyl decals to anyone willing to kick him a few $$$$

WHO was this GUY?
does anyone remember who I'm talking about
I think he's west coast.

i've been wanting to get in touch with this guy for a while now
bah...
oh well

I just got 2 custom BIANCHI decals made up for me by Suzie Q for $20.

She does all Jonny Cycles stuff.
Thanks again to Jasonsan for turning me on to her.

My girlfriend bought that bike off of him on CL. I'll try to see if she has his email still.

I've gotten vinyl letters cut at this place https://www.mrletter.com/

the quality is good but they tend to look a little generic.

can you get like old school soak them in water model decals made? that seems like what most old decals are... not plotter cut vinyl.

try wing sign in chicago they have cut decals for me before and do some of the best work

Check in Classic and Vintage... There is a guy, mswantak, who does repro and custom decals. May as well promote a fellow BF'er.
