I'll steal this to make 'Running in Procedure' decals for my scooter restos. Thanks, man :thumbup:

Yes, but it won't have metallic ink like a Fender decal.
I thought about buying the paper, then seeing if a print shop could do the metallic ink.

I reckon you could fix that with a sharp knife but it would be a prick of a job.

Agreed - it's a snip, removing that whole line, removing the offending H, join back up.

The rest of the accuracy is a little dicey though...those swirls are too thick, font wrong etc. Tone is in the font.

Don't worry, I have nothing but nefarious intentions for it.

Any recommendations for a good decal supplier?
