Decals DIY

ugo.santalucia

I have an old SANNINO frame which has been resprayed, but it's impossible to find the original frame decals. So, with a bit of work I think I've made some good enough decals myself.
Now, I've browsed around on how to print them, stick them to the frame and render them waterproof-ish.
Looks like I have to inkjet the decals onto inkjet water slide decal paper, transfer them and then spray with an acrylic to protect them.

Anyone has any experience in doing that? And, is the white decal paper white enough? I'm asking this as it is not possible to print white with an inkjet printer...
Anyone has a Sannino frame and looks for free decals?

Go to an auto store - they can do custom graphics pretty cheaply. Google even ?

What is pretty cheaply? I suspect it won't be less than 30 pounds these days...

Failing that - a mate of mine can do you a set of decals for a bike - he's done stuff for me.
Let me know ?

Problem is I have already spent ages with graphics software to design it, I think it's pretty much identical to the original. All I need is the professional printing onto a decal. Does your friend do that for a reasonable price?

I'm sure he would. Can you PM me with your graphics ?
