It depends of you just need something simple or complex. Local sign shops can whip out some easy stuff for you. I've got a sister with 3 laser cutters so she cuts out some things for my boats and trailer. Sign shops try to BS you trying to tell you that they can't do corporate things like Futaba or Airtronics for instance but in reality unless they have a bootleg program the rights have aleady been paid for to use them.

You get get vinyl cut, slide-off water decals or regular printed ones. The slide-offs you can get DIY kits that you can print off yourself on a home printer. Some hobby shops carry the stuff needed.

So will the nitro eat these or do you have to clear over them?

 

[Ron Olson]

It depends on which method is used. Solid colors on vinyl seem to be OK yet those with prism or other effectsaren't. I've had issues with printed decals getting hit by nitro and washed the ink right off of them so as a precaution it's a safe bet to clear-coat over any of them.

Be damn sure you use the proper clear- DO NOT USE the rattle can stuff- ask me how I know

I use http://callie-graphics.com and have had great results. She is in Albuquerque, NM. She lives in a rural area and doesnt have good phone service so email is the best way to reach her. She does printed graphics.

For my vinyl work I use Jim Osborne out of Scottsdale...

I know that Mike McKnight does the best unlimited hydro stuff and probably can do anything you need. I didn't know Roger Hooks Jr was doing them, but he would be a great choice as well...
