Looking for a printer or signwriter than can make very thin water type transfers (Decals) for old motorbike tanks, anyone know of someone who can do this please!

I used to use some photo-mechanical materials to reproduce decals on adhesive material some time ago,I made up logos for my Lola race car and other projects. They worked well with the gear I had, but didnt lastmuch more than 6- 9 months. Faded in the UV.Material was made by 3M. Best bet is probably to approach a silk screener

Is that a 212!
I think that the transfers may often be multicoloured which is a bit different from the computer cut self adhesive stuff.If water based, do they need a lacquer on top!
I may have a couple of (original) Velocette water transfers in my collection! Maybe time to sell the memorabilia and enjoy the proceeds anyway.

sign writer in Silverdale, some are multicoloured, they look just like they did in 1983

If you search on the net (forums for classic bikes) you might find they're already made and available.

I've seen a few online places searching for transfers for model cars and what not. None of them had decent ordering facilities so I didn't bother, but they are online if you're looking.
Depending on volume it might be easier to locate someone good with an airbrush!

His email address [email protected] in Hamilton, he does decals, airbrushing etc, if he cant do it he can probably tell you who can.

That is two around then. My ex lodger in the UK acquired the ex Jeremy Lord car for someone in Christchurch and shipped it out for him.Now owned by an artistic gentleman who you probably know.

Your ex-lodger!Hmmmm I had some problems with him over this. But it all worked out in the end.I'm wondering what the artistic gentleman is going to do with his collection of rare beasts - he's not getting any younger.LOL
