A have a question i need a pretty proffesional answer to. The only person i think could possibly head me to right direction is Anthony TD.
It's regarding the restoration of two Open Reel machines..I have some scratched paint that i will refinish as original but i will lose some transfers. The transfers in question are only a plain Arial style lettering, no brand logos, nothing fancy.

The problem is the best recommendation regarding re appling the transfers, i asked for a pro answer because i know someone will come alsong & say letteraset with applied protective coating.. This isnt what i want to hear but if some permanent transfers are available where you dont have to apply a protective coat over, that would be intresting..

The proper way is screen printing i would think but it realy is a small scale job but on the otherhand i want it right, as if it was never replaced. I noticed the priniting on Anthonys items & wondered how he did that??.

Thanks in advance
Andr'e

Hi Andre,

I'd be tempted to send Anthony a PM, as he rarely reads this section of the forum and so is liable to miss your query :)

Yeh thanks Marco..I do totally ignore some sections so i guess you may be right.

Interesting! May try and replace those illusive Meridian decals from the front glass on my 207's!!

They wont be any good they will leave a clear film around the transfer..Screen printing is the only way really but it's the small scale thing thats the trouble
