raised metal decals

[He11cat]

I am a bit stumped for decals...
I ordered some graphics to pop on .. they didn't arrive for the paint job in time.. and when they arrived one had a bit cut off a letter and the other I don't think would even show up on my tank so glad they did not get to the sprayer!

I quite like raised decals that stick on and maybe have the colour changed..
However I do push my bike about on hip on the tank...

How robust are these decals .. I don't want to rip them off..or damage my paint!!
And how easy to apply I am a bit clumsey at times...

Do you mean like mine with the Ducati Mecchanica logo or the Ducati long ones? Mine are fridge magnets and quite cheap so you can afford to replace them. They are glued on I hasten to add!

Thin sheet of ali.

Good hacksaw, files etc.

Cut them out yourself and polish.

Easy

I saw some aluminium ones on ebay when I was looking for some for me. If you want chrome vinyl ones pm scrapps and his mate luke with cut you some and post like these or a custom design if you want.

Found these but check size etc

There was one of the colour schemes, black with big flake chunks under a nice deep lacquer that had raised alloy lettering. Stafford ought to be able to raise a pic as he has my old IE.
Chrome would be a bit too unsubtle.
Liking the Mecchanica logo, had that on my 250 when I was just a teensy looney

The very same Gary except mine was the 750..
I did really like the paint on that one

[He11cat]

Arhhh I nearly went to purchase the one that was up for sale a year or so ago!!!! It was a limited edition one... I really liked it... However it tWas not a little carbie!!! Sorry I like carbie bikes best.

That's spot on actually and works !!!! Thanks !! So is there a parts code or where do I hunt .. And what do I look for .. Obviously decals but .. Bet they are exspensive but worth it to finish the little bikes tank!

My flake is strands like tinsel .. Long and a few mm long it makes the bike look furry lol
