Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a place, preferabbly in Christchurch, who can do high quality multiple colored vinyl decals. My bike is back from the shop shortly, only for me to take off the tank and get it repainted and I plan to have a custom tank logo on it.

Before that happens, I need to get these logos I've made printed out!

Recommendations much appreciated.

Glad to hear that it's coming along as planned, had been planning to ask :)

There's a guy in Riccarton, Riccarton Signs perhaps... haven't used him, but chatted to him when I was wanting some work done, and he seemed quite knowledgeable and keen, which always helps :yes:

Heh, some bias is expected :laugh:

Cheers for the tip though... finding good tradesman can be a battle some days.

Action Signs did our work vans and they look great.

Make sure whoever you pick uses high quality inks and stock - most use 3M - it costs a bit more but lasts longer.

I've been using Circles & Stripes on Gasson Street for a while now. They do all the signage on my campervans, sales boards, courtesy car & trailer etc. Grant is the guy in the workshop there. Top bloke and I've no complaints about their work!

Give him a call, or pop down with your bike, he's got heaps of vinyl in stock as well as catalogues to look through!

Nah mate. That's a cut process, same as I do. What the OP wants is printed.

Action Signs out at the airport.
They do a very good job.

I'll look into all of them.

Just whatever will be the best as a decal to go on the paint before the cleat coating goes on the bike.

Ta.

Well post pictures once done, although Imdying has already seen the photoshop image I've done.

Eta couple weeks.

Can the same places do protective see through 3M vinyl (or better) covering? If so thoughts on if it is worth doing and can it be done so you cant see it. (I am in CHCH)

Thank

Most sign shops won't touch the paint protection films. Try a car detailer...
