Getting Decals Made

[nh8260]

I've heard there are companies out there that will make decals from photos you send them, I have checked around here and haven't found one so far. Has anyone used a company or business that does this and has good quality decals?? I would like to get some made for older implements, the replacements you get now are not quite the same.

I've been able to get anything I have clear pictures of from a local office supply, print and sign shop. A couple times they resized or changed colors for me. Cost is waaaaay cheaper than anything online selling decals.

That is what sign shops do. You can call them signs or decals your choice, but they are made the same way from sheet vinyl.

Everything is all stickers now. Not a true water slip decalcomania.

And you might be surprised what I can't do.

No way I could paint anything freehand and it not look like a kindergartener’s coloring book.

A son in law owns and operates a sign shop and also prints, makes and applies decals for company work trucks. Look on the web for a sign shop near you.

My SIL used to hand letter and paint designs. Today no-one wants to pay the hourly rate, so request decals.

The place mentioned above quoted me $45 for a sheet of waterslide decal prints, regardless of how many of what is printed on the sheet. I needed three-color decals to for restoration of some vintage speakers:

Needed Allis Chalmers . And model numbers , for plow . Could not find them , blew up the images from the manuals .
Made templates out of posters.
Hand painted the on the plow beams .
I understand about the quality of sign painting ,pinstripes, air brush. Need to support them to in the application. It shows attention to details beyond decals in many cases .
