Decal Reproduction

chevelleshack · #1 01-23-2019, 07:21 PM

As the title states , i am looking for a vendor who has the ability to reproduce decals . I am restoring a vehicle for a customer that does not have a very large aftermarket following ( 1993 Ford F 250 ) & the only thing i can find is Marti autoworks that has the door tag . Any ideas ? Thanks for the post !

I have found that most small graphic arts designers will make just about anything for you for a price. It is usually not cheap as you have to pay them their set up and design costs. With common decals you can make it back over time with quantities but likely not on that decal.

Try Fast Signs - I think they are around most places. They can work with most high resolution digital renderings. I used them recently and they did a very nice job creating both peel-off stickers and static cling stickers.

Or just use the tried and true "Caution fan" like everyone else does.

I was hesitant to use my fast signs and tried other local graphics shops but couldn’t get traction with them. Don’t know if all fast signs are like the one I used but they were very personable. Went behind the scenes and worked with the graphics guy at his computer which helped build my confidence in their process. Results were excellent with a short turn around. Good luck.

How about SS/EA Joey Graham at Acrobat Signs. Still a member here I think? He makes anything for everything.
Call him

Well..... strike one . Fast signs was a no go . Mainly due to the detail of things on the jacking & belt installation decals , cost prohibitive . Didn't ask what the cost would be , probably by the hour so he couldn't have told me anyway . On to Joe . Has anyone had him do such a thing ? Don't want to waste his time if this is not up his alley .

Call him, he will let you know. He does signs for Cecil County Dragway and also Atco Dragway I believe. I have a couple vinyl decals he did of Tony Pizzi Automotive on my quarter windows.
