I was wondering if there's anybody out there who does custom decal work, in a timely manner. I've got a few things I would like to get done. I haven't had any luck with the Testors decal program and paper. I need them printed on clear decal paper as they will be going on an orange car. Thanks for looking!

I have ordered custom decals from Speedway decals -- Thomas does excellent work. I provided him with the pictures of the decal I needed and he'll create the custom art work and then print the decals. Hope this helps,

Jeremiah, I use the 8X10 sheets from Bare metal foil co . I have an Epsom Bubble jet printer and MOST printers on the market use such . Yes, you can buy a laser printer and as such , YOU HAVE to use a LASER Decal paper or else !!!!!! You also need to apply a CLEAR Lacquer finish over your work !!!!! For what it's worth , my office is South of Richmond in Chester Va . I don't do any Virginia contests as they're all IPMS and we don't exactly get along . Perhaps we can meet say a coffee shop if you want my help sometime ....

If the car is orange the decal images will need a white undercoat. Without it the color images on your decal will be translucent and the orange background will make their colors look way off.
