Decals / Graphics for an RV

dwilson · #1 08-04-2005, 01:06 PM

Building a 9A. Thinking ahead to paint. Considering basic white with added swoosh type decals.
Does anyone know where decals can be bought and or designed and bought?

Thanks,
Duane Wilson

Try Eric, Duane. He advertises on the VAF site and as I type this is currently working up some stuff for 'Flash' (Rescue, No Step, etc.)

Another alternative is do a search on "Vinyl Graphics" in Google. There are a lot of airplane, car and boat graphics that can be used.

I am looking for a good source for vinyl graphics. I need n-numbers but also need some simple military insignias made to my specs. The vendors I have seen so far seem to do just letters and numbers or want to do large scale graphic schemes. Any suggestions? N659DB is at the painter now having an "Extreme Makeover - RV Edition"

I might be able to help here. I did my own 9A and am happy with the results. I can do up to 24" width and have been known to work cheap. Gotta pay off the cutter I bought just to do my own plane. Have done a Swift and mixmaster Cessna but have been too busy to really push this as a business. Back in a former life I ran a commercial art agency, so I guess I have a little experience. I would assume you are only going with 3" numbers. I only have my plane painted in one color and used vinyl on the wing & tail tips as well as striping. Can send you a pic. Call me if interested.

Bob,

Why don't you just post the picture of your plane here. We're always looking for different ways to do this.

Okay, gonna give it a try. Haven't posted pictures here, so we shall see. BTW, I have the same graphics on the wheelpants and now even on the end of the steps. The writing on the bottom edge of the canopy is in gold and is the easiest part of the whole deal. Sorry I don't have a picture with the canopy closed, but you should get the idea (if it works, anyway.)

(Edited in here) Hey, it works! I think I will update my website in a few days with some detail stuff so you can get a better idea. Did I have any wrinkles, etc? Yes, a few, but far less trouble than if I'd have had runs in paint. Everything is repairable and even changable if you don't like it. Should have put the spinner on and closed the cowl tight--ignore that, please. BTW, that is a Gamut carbon fiber canopy.
