Super28 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Anybody know someone/ place that can make duplicate decals from the originals. I have a Fujimi Lamborghini Veneno that the decals are too thin. Can't use them. Wonder if there is someone out there , that if I sent them the original set they could reproduce them on regular decal paper. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave G. Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I'd probably scan n print my own but that's me. Course you need a decent all in one printer to do that. There are decal companies out there, someone will answer your actual question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctruss53 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 If they are too thin you could apply a clearcoat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super28 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Dave G & ctruss, Thank you. Both great ideas. Should've thought of that myself. Senile old fart. Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 "Regular" decal paper is thin too. UNless you are talkign about the old Revell decals which were almost as thick as stickers. Yes, applying multiple coats of Microscale Clear Decal film will give the decals some more tickness. There are decal companies out there, but unless you can provide them with vector-based print ready artwork (have them do the artwork) could get expensive. Before you ask, no, decal printing companies don't just make copies onto a decal paper. Most decals need a white undercoat to make the images opaque.

Mike 1017 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I needed a set of Black 1971 Boss 351 decals. The one the box is silver. My home printer would not cooperate with printing out black decals. I took the decal sheet my own decal paper to the UPSStore. I got 2 sets for 36 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
