Reproduction Decals
|
| All
motorcycles on this page were restored using our graphics. Our commitment Reproduction Decals specializes in reprinting obsolete and unobtainable decals only. We exist because vintage motorcycle enthusiasts all over the world are restoring classic bikes. Many of our customers' restorations can be found in museums and show competitions all over the world. To many, it is important that they are correct in every detail. That's where we come in. Now you can get labels and stripes, including many items never before available from the manufacturer, for the restoration of your vintage motorcycle. Unlike many suppliers, we produce all of our decals which allows us to maintain the highest level of quality at all times. Owned and operated by a longtime VJMC member with over 20 years in the graphics industry, you can be confident that our products are second to none. Our product line has grown and now includes an extensive selection of parts. We have searched all over the world so you don't have to. Restoring your vintage bike is now a lot simpler. What sets us apart Restoration shops and individuals often ask us "why should I buy from you" or "why is you price a little higher than this company"? Our commitment to quality and customer service are unparalleled. Our staff is knowledgeable and take the time to assist you. All graphics are shipped FREE. When you add shipping and so called "handling" fees charged by our competitors, there is little if any cost savings to the consumer. We are uniquely different from other graphic reproduction companies. This is simply because our background is graphics and we are qualified, trained professionals in this field. Others are often motorcycle shops that have decided to dabble in motorcycle graphics in an attempt to cash in on the current interest in vintage motorcycles. Product information Although several companies may offer what appear to be the same graphics for the same model, they are not all created equal. We use 3M and Avery products exclusively and never use cheap materials to save money. Our printing process is thermal. Meaning the colors bond to the substrate using heat. We could use a cheaper process but our customers expect the best and we certainly couldn't offer the best decals using an inkjet printer. Our colors are printed as "spot colors". This means the colors are printed one at a time giving solid, uniform and consistent colors. Inkjet or "solvent based" printers will apply all colors at one time which sounds impressive, but is it? Not really. This process is quick and more cost effective but the quality suffers. What you get is a color that is inconsistent and made up of other colors which results in a finish that looks speckled or textured. It is also necessary for decals printed on a solvent based system to have a laminate applied or they must be clear coated. Otherwise washing your bike could result in the colors running. It makes sense. If they are applied with solvents, they will come off with solvents. Our process is more complicated and costly for us but compromise is not an option as far as we are concerned. We make every effort to locate NOS (new old stock) decals to work from whenever possible or use originals that have not faded. We set very high standards in order to provide you with the most accurate product possible. In many instances our quality is superior to the originals, while reproducing minor imperfections in the interest of originality. If you need graphics for your new motorcycle, please purchase them from the OEM or check with us in about fifteen years when they have become unavailable from the dealer. We exist to fulfill a need for obsolete and unobtainable decals. None of our products are printed on an inkjet printer or use layered vinyl to create multi colored graphics. Our decals are printed on thin vinyl for longevity and ease of application. Application of clear coat over the graphics is recommended on fuel tanks and other areas that are susceptible to damage, as used by the manufacturer. A scratch resistant coating is also applied to help ensure long life for decals that are not clear coated. MX decals (for plastic tanks) have a clear laminate for added durability and authenticity. Over the years we have restored many vintage motorcycles using our own graphics, winning numerous awards for our work. Many of our customer's bikes are winning top honors in the most prestigious vintage motorcycle shows around the world and our products undoubtedly play a role. It's attention to detail that will set your restoration apart from the rest. Don't settle for anything but the best. Click here to see our collection of vintage motorcycles. |
