Finding Decals

[Strategic1]

Hi Guys, as a signwriter by trade I started hunting for original decals to fit to my BJ42 & found that some are just hard to get soooooo I created my own & am adding as I find decent pics to go from to re digitize the hardest have been the ones with Japanese characters. They are a beaaatch to digitize so if any of you have good hi res pics post here & I will begin a library of decals for reference to all interested. These are a few I have recreated so far, have a few others on the go but as you can understand this is a time consumer. Cheers

Hi Guys, not going to be a business as such yet as I want to get a large Library going first. I am happy to produce in drib's & drabs for thoes that need them done. The 1969 Vacuum switching valve is an easy one just need a size. (mm not backward inches stuff) a close up pic showing as much detail as possible ie the small circle in left corner would be hard to reproduce accurately in this pic. The material I use is mainly digital print with a uv clear over laminate very durable also use chrome with vinyl in the badges this stops those bastards that pinch the originals Just PM me with address & can post out. This will be a toe in the water kinda deal until I have enough in the Library to set up a web based & get a pay pal thing going which could take a while as I have no idea how that stuff works ( I'm a old man who still misses his stone tablet & chisel )

Here is a sample of the valve reproduced

Strategig1, you know I have looking for this decal for a long, long time. I believe it was only s few years at best. Your image here gives me hope. I will attach the outer size and let me know if I can get one from you , or two, and the cost and it will be done. Thanks so much. I do not know radius , but maybe you do.

No problem, just PM me with an e-mail & can send a eps file so you can get your local signwriter to print you as many as you like

Hi Mate, I keen for the warn hub and 2H stickers. Are you still making them?

 

[David70FJ40]

Several of those are already produced here in the USA by ReefMonkey. He is a supporting vendor on MUD, lives in NC and is a member of the Olde North State Cruisers. He doesn't produce everything and can supply quickly. Check him out. Look up @JAMES here on MUD.
