Hi all
anybody know where you can buy decals or stencils for old style oval race numbers I would like to try spraying the numbers on
rather than stickers.
sure I have seen several lambretta`s with these on panels.
any info appreciated
cheers

maybe you can buy some ready made stencils but why dont you just do it the old skool way ..cover it in masking tape and draw your own design onto it and then cut it out ?,surely a far better way rather than using any mass produced stencil ?

or go to a local sign shop and get them to laser cut you a few vynals out ,instead of sticking the sticker on use the other bit as a stensil and spray through it simples ...

plenty of room for problems with this method especially as you will be free handing curves more than likely. Easiest way is to find the numbers/fonts online and then get company to make adhesive masks done to the size you require. Get a couple of spares as well and you can't go wrong as long as you have a scalpel and decent set of tweezers.
prob get it for less than a tenner
I have a blokes details that does it if your interested
