So mad I can hardly see straight right now...  I don't really feel like getting into details at the moment, but I've basically destroyed 5 days worth of paintwork because I tried to make due with the wrong style of decal on the tank (because I couldn't find the RIGHT style of decal).  So now that it looks like I'll have to strip the tank and start again, I'd like to be sure I do it right next time:

Where do y'all find CORRECT sport-classic tank decals?  Two-tone AND die cut - not one or the other.  Everything I found was either monotone and die-cut, or two-tone but printed on one-piece backing.  Does such a thing even exist?  It seems improbable based on my idea of how die-cut vinyl is produced, but then how does Ducati do it?

Ducati probably screenprints them due to volume, but you can achieve the same quality in smaller runs with thermal printing. PM me if you're interested, I can set you up.

You can order the decals direct from Ducati can't you?  There's a part number in the book.  Check online on the Ducati Omaha site.

I did see the ones offered at Bevelheaven, but my internet was down this morning so I was not able to contact them to make sure they're the right thing.  I'm guessing that at $22 and change each, they're the right style - Can anyone confirm or deny?   I do also have a sign shop in town, but in the few times I've been in there over the years, it's hard to get the time of day if you don't come with a multi-hundred-dollar order.

I got some old school logos from bevelheavrn and they are the real deal.

Sport Classic decals are available from the dealer.

I make masks and a few decals. I try to spray most of my logos.

Well, the first "dealer' I tried as of last night (Commonwealth) says, at least for them, the decals are out of stock with no ETA on a re-stock - and he didn't say he could get them from Italy either...  Kinda hard to believe that they're already of NOS parts for a bike that was produced last model year, so I'm going to try around (they're looking to be ~$6 ea from OEM parts suppliers, vs $22 ea from bevelheaven - not sure if that's indicative of something important to know, but $12 bucks ain't a big loss if they're crap).

As a backup plan, I suppose I do have a jpeg from which I could conceivably make a set of masks, but I'm hesitant because I'm pretty sure it would end up crooked / askew / crappy looking since it'd be a two-part job...  Any hints?

I wasn't kidding... I do this professionally. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Didja try Ducati Seattle?  They're always my first call if the local dealers don't have 'em.  I'm amazed at what those guys have in stock.  I got a not-that-easy-to-find old school monster decal (actually 2) from them.  It was just sitting on the shelf.

I think I have a few sitting on the shelf. If you don't have a set by Tuesday, drop me a line...

Since you don't respond to hints...

...neither you nor your employer are sponsors here so you can't shill for them on this forum.
