What is best to use, I see that many companies are not available as a water transfer.


I remember the good old days when gold was worth more than rust!

Use the vinal, and take it to a sign shop - and have them put it on a big magnet. That way you can swap the signs out from time to time. And they look like metal signs without the bolts....

If your going back to chevron? I think Mike Slama has the water decals , or you could go with repo enamal plates.

Travis:

You can buy the 'sheet magnet' stock from an art supply shop. Then you can mount your own vinyl decals and trim them out with an xacto knife. Much cheaper than buying it piece-by-piece and paying the sign shop for labor.

----------------------------------

Aquaelvis:

Dwaine is correct. Mike has them on his site. Both in Regular and Supreme water transfer decals (www.timespast.com). You could do a white body with one red door and one blue door with an 'open' area in the center of each door shaped to allow the decal(s) to sit on a white surface. Set the finished pump on a lazy-susan (who is this 'Susan' person anyway?) and you can rotate it - and effectively have two pumps!

Later . . .

Hey t-way - my sign shops will put them on and trim them down for 4 bucks each, that way I do not have to screw up any decals!

Thanks for the info......
