Instrument Decals (Turn/Wiper/Cruise)

Post by mfeuro »

Some owners expressed interest for replacement instrument decals & asked me if I could make them. I am happy to say they are ready today & I wanted to get everyone acquainted with my latest project.

More information + updates will be posted as it becomes necessary-- in the meantime feel free to ask questions.

An order link is provided below:

Catalog (instruction booklet) here:

Best,

That's a great idea. Any chance if I provided you with the text for the Euro cruise-control stalk you could do that?

Any thoughts on making decals for the on board computer keypad? I could use them in German myself.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for the idea, it is possible to get them made. I would need some sort of image to match your description & timeline depends on when I can send my next order in (anywhere from 3-5 weeks)

Others can also comment what designs they would like to see made (or the same)

Thanks,

Mo

If I were to send you the dimensions could you print some arrows like those on my e34 switchblade key?

On page iv of your instructions, you say to "Protect with thin layers of urethane clear-coat." Can you give more detail? Are you spraying it on the whole plastic part? are you just dabbing it on the new white graphics that were just stuck on? I have this vision of putting cool new graphics on, then making it look crappy by slopping urethane on there.

Hi,

I have actually used a water-based clear-coat in the past. You can also find & use urethane instead.

Lightly dab or (brush) clear-coat only on the decal itself -- I would practice coating on a sample surface & thin according to manufacturer instructions.

FYI I used the tip of an old (dried) Copic marker as my brush head.

Here is an example for dash button decals:

I'm actually unsure what kind of clear coat to buy. All the stuff i see is two part which seems overkill. I can't find the brand you have in the picture above.

Can you be more specific? I want to do this right. Thanks!

Hi Cek,

I have found this brand works well: (well-priced & available from amazon, hobby lobby etc....)

Vallejo Polyurethane Varnish matt 26.651

You can also search or ask for any polyurethane clear-coat (from model shops or similar)

Hope that helps & thanks for taking the time to ask,

Mo
