    Megazip shows the KIS-ARM sticker as no longer available. I'm thinking about stripping the swingarm and powder coating it, but I don't want to lose the sticker that belongs there!

    Does anyone recreate the Kawi stickers?

    Any good sign writer with the computor/cad machine should be able to make them for you.

    The problem is it’s a silver sticker, screen printed with black on it. I have access to a vinyl cutter, but I wanna do the sticker like stock- which would require layering. If I can’t find the stock sticker, I’ll capture, convert to vector, and make it without the background.... but I’d like to do it right.

    getting a screen printed one-off vinyl is expensive, I’ve done it before.

    Any signwriter with a good plotter could do exactly what you want... all race cars these days are wrapped in printed wrap but it can be done on vinyl as well.. they then clear coat them and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

    I have been a signwriter on and off for 20 years and if you call around the sign shope the Roland Print and cut machines have a metallic option ink either gold silver or white, then this can be done no issue and it wont cost the earth mate, or you could stencil the vinyl and spray paint then laminate maybe? Best bet is a roland machine

    You’re on to something there. Tech has definitely moved on and gotten cheaper since the last time I needed to do this!
