Default Sticker people???

Right, I'm painting my rocker cover and would like some graphics made up to put the original logo's back on....



Ford oval 60mm x 23mm



Duratec 115mm x 10mm



RS 12mm x 29mm (at widest points, see pic below with red arrow )





I would like a spare set + a mate want's some for the same job, so looking at 3 sets, ALL in silver, including RS logo.

Who's the man for the job??

I can do them for you mate but if the fleck on the rocker is too deep then vinyl wont necessarily stick very well. Werent the original ones painted on?

Marty, I'm a bit worried that would be too permanent. If I want to remove/change the logo's at a later date then I can this way, always thinking me!

Chris, that would be great if you could do it. I'm getting the cover flattened so the paint finish will be proper smooth, vinyl should stick no probs. Do you have images to work from or do you need me to take any better pics?? How much would it be + how can I pay you?

Cheers

Il give it one long journey before the vinyl has melted all over your new cover.

Seriously, Vinyl will deffo not stick on the rocker cover, apart from it not being smooth the temp will just melt them off.

Why dont you get lee@fusion to make you a plug cover and put all the graphics on that, he can even etch them onto it for you if you like.

Loads of the FRS boys have done this with no probs. I'll take a chance cheers. And I hate the covers with stuff etched into it, looks proper cheese on toast.

Chris, just let me know (PM) when, how much, how to pay etc when you a get chance.
