Reproducing decals

Post by BillKrueger »

I have an old set of Panda Danny Thompson nitro stadium racer decals still on the sheet. These are from the 90's. I'd like to get the body and decals applied, but I'd hate to use them at the same time. Does anyone know a place I can send the decal sheet to get quality copies made?

If mci doesnt have them I think they would be interested.

I wanna say they would take them and offer you a repro set along with a couple others. I could be wrong though.

Have you found anyone to help you with a copy of the decals? I would use a recommendation too, but I want a trustworthy company.

MCI seems to have the RC decal market cornered, so that is probably your best option. I haven't used them myself but their name comes up every time anyone asks about decals.

I haven't asked her to copy an existing decal, but I have emailed artwork and dimensions to Callie and always got great results. https://callie-graphics.com/

Boki are getting into the sticker game now too, but I dont know if they are accepting custom work yet. My new stickers will be from them as soon as I run out.

I had a similar need a while back and ended up getting help from the folks over at https://www.modernhousenumbers.com/. They did a fantastic job creating a decal copy of a cherished poster I had from my grandfather featuring the Beatles. It was important for me to preserve that memory, and they really came through.
