Hi
Ok, so I'm a newbie here and have only recently bought my first van. An '81 hightop which is having a new interior put in now. Externally, it's painted entirely white and I want to break it up with a retro stripe running horizontally along the body work. I'm struggling to find these on line. Can anyone recommend somewhere / anyone who can help get me my stripes!? I'm based down in Surrey, so south england would be great.
Any ideas or suggestions would be really great!
Thanks
A

Re: Stripes for my van!
You could try a local sign-maker, I got some stripes made up for my motorbike by one in Plymouth. They print them up on vinyl to any design & size you want. They did all the lettering & logos as well for less than £25. I took down a photo of the bike with the stripes digitally added and they scaled them up to fit the bike.

Re: Stripes for my van!
Hi Macca,
Here's a copy of a reply I got when I asked a similar question which maybe helpful - and Sarah's a club member too.
Got my stripes through the post after agreeing the design by e-mail.
Depends if you know how to apply them, but was much more cost effective than the local sign writers.
We have many Decals already available on our website www.mosake-partners.com but we can also supply custom decals to your requirements. We have in the past supplied The Villa 3 Logo to a customer, and going off your image the rest would be pretty simple to replicate. We would need a guide on the dimensions you'd require your decals at in order to give you a price but feel free to PM us or email direct to sales@mosake-partners.com if you are still in need of a price for these decals.
Small piece of background about us:
We are a small family business and pride ourselves not only on the quality of our product but also on the aftersales service we extend to all our customers. We have sold a great many of the VW decals and decals sets to private individuals and dealers alike - all who have been extremely happy on quality and service.
My name is Sarah of Mosake-Partners.com we are based in Hyde, Cheshire, SK14

Re: Stripes for my van!
Thanks for all the replies. I thought I had a good look on ebay, but maybe not thorough enough! I was down on the coast today in Sussex and saw a lovely 2 tone van - painting would be my preference but it's just so expensive
I'll have a look at these ideas. Cheers!
