Making/Purchasing Decals for covering?
I'm at a loss here when it comes to how/where/create decals, Is there by chance a place out there that I can have them custom made? Do I use a personal printer to make them and if so how durable are they?
I'm not even sure if a printer would work depending on how large the decal needs to be. Is there differnet types of decal paper?
Thanks
Blackie

Yes, there are different types of decal paper, differnet types of printer, sealer, etc. e.g. see http://www.decalpaper.com/
Possibly the biggest issue you will face, is that most "regular" printers don't print white ink, so a white background decal paper is used instead of a clear background. That's fine if you don't mind the whole decal being "filled in", but is not ideal for many uses.
There are a few white-ink printers around, but I haven't yet found a suitable one that I like.

Minn, you said it!
Sign printers usually cut vinyl and you can get some pretty complicated lookign designs done, and also, they are large!! So you can get eth whole Logo in one piece. Also, teh colours you can get is pretty amazing!! liek reflective stuff, and various 'safety' colours.
