So there's been a lot of talk recently about getting custom-made waterslide decals for customs. Is there anyone out there that does "traditional" decals (adhesive-backed) and can create custom-designed decal sheets? Like if I want to make an entirely new decal sheet for a vehicle, for example, as opposed to buying a pre-made set off Cobrastickers. Probably using the clear backing that modern-era decals typically use, rather than the papery backing of vintage decals.

You can buy a machine to do "kiss cutting" for about $200 and then print your own designs on 3M stuff. I know of places like Cobra Stickers but nothing that does pre-cut customs unless you're buying hundreds of the same set.

If the decal is going on a white or light background, then you can just print it on clear label paper that you get from Staples. Staples also has name tag paper that prints the decal on white paper, but then you can cover it with a clear plastic sheet. There is adhesive on the back too. I used it for my decals on a custom Red Shadows vehicle I made:
Crap. Imdur is not working now. I'll post pics once I figure out why it's not working.

Ok. The chest decal and the decals on this OG vehicle are just clear label paper with adhesive backing. It works best on white backgrounds:
The large red shadows logos use the name tag kit from Staples: Hope this helps a little.
