Decals

Does any one on the board know where to get vin and paint trim decals, I found two places from searching the boards but I emailed them last week and none of them responded.

Thanks for the link but that is one of the two places I contacted and Its been a week and I am still waiting for a response.

 

With enough money, I'm sure you could find someplace to make the decals for you. The trim decal is adhesive-backed aluminum, and the trim and paint codes are stamped into it. I don't know of any place that makes reproductions of these - you'll probably have to have it custom made.

Try looking in Hemming's Motor News - there are lots of restoration specialty places that advertise there. If you can find a business that does something similar to what you want, they may be able to connect you with the business that can make what you need.

hth!

 

Also, have you tried contacting the owner of the link?

I am going to try and make my own paint and trim decal, could some one email me the dimensions and perhaps a picture. I have a small black and white but would love a better picture.

 

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I recreated a dash vin decal myself in Adobe Illustrator. I posted it under "My Reproduction Vin Sticker", or something like that. Try a search in the forums. Anyway, it's for my 1979 CJ5. I copied it exactly from my original and a few internet pictures. I'm pretty sure 1978 looked about the same. I don't know what year your Jeep is, but you're welcome to use my decal as a template and fill in your info. Good luck.

 

thanks I will look, I was going to order one but maybe I can make my own, What I need now is the dimensions of the paint and trim decal. I got a picture and I have created one and I want to make sure its the right size.

 

I know they used that decal on the '72, and pretty sure it ended with the '73 model. However, it was used a few years prior to that, say '70 and '71. You might get some help if you post on the 'early' tech forum and explain what you need.
