Anyone know of a place that can do Kawasaki H2 decals in custom colors? I contacted ReproductionDecals, but they can't do the color I would like.

Since when??

Ellen and Andre have done a few "custom" color decal sets for me... Including the Green H2

I'm not sure when they stopped, but I asked if they could do a flat black and white for me. This was her response:

Hi:
We are able to replace the blue with black however we can not do flat black as it would mean re-working the whole decal and and changing the art which we are not able to do at this time due to time constraints.
The black we can use is the black currently on the decal.
Thanks,
Ellen

Maybe if I email her back and explain I won't need them until June, they can do them.

I talked to my local decal guy,he said, he could do white and flat black but if you clear coat them the flat black will turn out glossy. If you don't clear them than you have to worry about smearing them if you get any chemicals (including gas) on them.

This is some he did for me.

Those look pretty good! Did you give him a pattern? How did he get it right? As far as the clear coat goes, I was going to go with a flat clear coat. Hoping that my preserve the flat black in the decals.

I don't know squat about decals, but I would guess that whatever gloss or flatness the clearcoat has is what the final gloss/flat will be, regardless of whether the decals are flat or gloss.
