Thread: Found some good red bordered decals

    Found some good red bordered decals

    Hey guys,

    Got some newly produced red bordered decals from Aase Sales they look great in my engine bay! The finish and thickness is correct, and they're actually metal unlike the cheap foily-repros going around. They told me they were working on the voltage decal when I asked if they had full sets available.

    Here she is so far, quite the beaut!

    Canford Classics has offered a really nice set (printed metal and incl voltage sticker) for a few years now.

    Yeah this is true they are based in the UK however and don't have all the variations for the tire pressure decals nor the valve clearance/firing order combination decal for the air cleaner housing. Aase was better for me since I live in the US.

    Also the font on the Canford ones is incorrect... the decals are great but for $200 a pop it would be nice if they were spot on...

    So now you have two decals showing cylinder placement and firing order?

    Compiled a comparison picture real quick. Obviously the color in this picture doesn't represent the color of the decals from Aase and Canford exactly since photoshops schema washes them a little bit. Anyway you can tell that Canfords font style is somewhat incorrect as well as the spatial dimensions being slightly off between the bar and the text, text to text and so on. I was told by an Aase rep that they took an original set off one of their cars and did an exact-transparency scan and then overlayed it with the artist rendering to get an exact copy.
