Source for custom decals/stickers?

[atchipmunk]

I'm in the process of repainting an old '99 FSR DH MAX Backbone frame and am looking to put decals back onto it...similar to the stock decals but in a different color scheme. Anyone know anyone or anyplace that does custom decals/vinyl graphics that might have the "Specialized" and older "FSR" logos on file? Or that might specialize in doing bike decals? I'm looking kinda replicate the original decals, but in black with white or silver outlines. I know I could have them done at just about any sign/graphics place but I am having a hard time finding a clean version of the older "FSR" logo that I could supply them.
Anyway, anyone know of any place that might be able to help? Thanks.

I've seen a ton of repro bike graphics on Ebay. That would be the place I'd start.

Already looked on eBay. None fit the bill. Only found single color Specialized decals...none with a different outline color. And definitely no "FSR" decals. Guess I could try emailing one of those guys to see if they actually make the rep decals themselves...

I might be able to make them for you. Can you show me a pic of what you are looking for? You can e-mail it to me if you would like.

Thanks 24v...will post some pics later (don't have access to the pics on my computer right now). Basically replicating the stock decals...just reversing the colors. The stock ones were white w/ black outline. I need black w/ white or maybe silver outline. I'll post pics of the stock decals later...

Contact jncarpenter over at MTBR. Doesn't seem to be anything he can't do with a decal.

You can check out some samples of his work here.

I see guys who cut vinyl stickers all the time at the malls.

Do you clear coat the frame after applying the vinyl decals?

 

[atchipmunk]

Wow...those JNC decals are SICK! Will definitely contact him for a quote.

Rojomas...yeah, the ones at the mall can usually only do one color. I need at least 2...maybe more now after seeing those other decals...

BallisticPat...yeah, gonna clear over the decals. Did a test with some spare vinyl decals I had left over from another project and it turned out pretty good. Anyway, thanks for the leads everyone...

Here's the pics of the factory decals I want to replicate....just in a different color scheme. These are pics of a stock old-school FSR (in this case an Elite):

And this one is from an FSR DH:

I want to replicate the "Spcialized" and "FSR" decals from the red Elite...only instead of white with black outline I want black with a white or silver outline. I also want the "DH" seen towards the top of the last pic (in place of the "Elite" on the red bike). Finally, I want to do the head and seat tube "S" logos in the same color (Black w/ white or silver outline) but don't have a pic of that one to share...

The frame i'm going to put them on can be seen at my build thread on MTBR: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=570489
