Default RE: *Where To Get Custom Made Decals*

Hello Zippi,

I just made my own decals. Bought decal paper from [link=http://www.kustomrides.com]Kusto Rides[/link]. Then I printed the decals on my inkjet printer (HP Deskjet). After the print you have to seal the decals with some kind of clear coat. Otherwise the ink will dissolve in the water. You can use a spray can of anything clear from the local hardware store. I used two component car paint, that I sprayed on using a professional spray gun and compressor. Did that so it is fuel proof. But you can even buy two component spray cans.
Worked really great and is very easy. This way you can put on your airplane whatever you want at very low costs. Sounds much more difficult than it is. Made mine in about twenty minutes.

Cheers, Martin
