finally got hold of a long ride tank for my 07 Scorpa (Pedro from T3moto in Toledo, Spain) & now need to change the decals to fit in with the rest of the bike

 

looked for blue long ride stickers on line without any luck, does anyone out there know of any?

alternatively I'm thinking about getting some made using the existing ones as a template again does anyone have any recommendations of who to use?

 

didn't want to go down the paint it blue route but what are people experiances of painting plastic? 

 

thanks, Lee

 

 

I used acrylic model paint on plastic stickers and it worked OK.

Paint the mudguards white is another option. I've seen repainted plastic petrol tanks lose the paint and even new ones from the manufacturers.

vinyl wise - it is the difficultly of getting the template right from the 3D shape - once you have it drawn up there are thousand of sign companies that can print it. there are also specialists who will have specific vinyl for difficult applications (like bike plastics) and then its a question of how good a laminate you put on it. all of these things any sign company could get it, but the specialists that do bikes will be geared up for (eg spiral gfx, etc - search for mx graphics). specialist application like this *may* de-laminate if you use "normal" laminate (only 100 microns thick), there is some really heavy duty stuff out there (300 microns thick).

There are plenty of MX specialized decal makers. THey can shape and make everything you want.
