Where to get Waterslide Decals

[todd281]

I was thinking about trying waterslide type decals on my next project, but I am having trouble finding a supplier . American Outboard Motors & Salvage seems to be closed. I e-mailed , and called them, but no response. Does any know of another supplier of this type of decals? Thanks Happy Holidays

I have done quite a search, and made a few inquiries , all I am finding are vinyl decals no waterslides . Of corse I am a new to me computer, so there is a bit of mayhem . I thought possibly someone here has a merchant they deal with, as I will also need some coaching.

Check out nymarine.ca – his decals are not the old water slide type but vinyl water transfer. I’ve had good luck with them.

It took about a week for American Outboard Motors & Salvage to return an email from me. After I spoke with them they said they were swamped and behind. If you are not in a hurry you may want to wait and get what you want. They are good to work with.

Ok,, I guess I will have to wait on American Outboard Motors. I have e-mailed and called them , the call rang twice then it hung up. I would really like to try waterslides, I have used vinyl in the past and the results look good, but it seems the waterslide type would be as close to original as I might get. And learning how to get good results with them would be a plus. Thanks for the replies.

If you really want to try something new, you can make your own. Google it and you’ll find some instructions out there.

Yea, I did that , involves getting a color laser-jet printer to do it right. Then “find” the artwork , $$$$ . I am hoping , although its not looking too promising, that I can find someone who sells what I am looking for. I am working on several winter projects. Thanks for the thought.

I looked at doing this to make decals for my ’52 Evinrude and ’40 Sea King. Granted, they were simple decals and I was able to create them using word processing software. Places are around that offer printing services (UPS and others) Not sure what that cost would be as I didn’t pursue it that far. Out of curiosity, what motor are you working on?
