All done with the 2K clear. I'll just let 'em hang and harden up for a week or so.
It's warm enough in the garage but not by much so the finish will take a while to cure.
That will give me time to get the rest of the bike together. The 19" rear wheel, rear brake switch wiring and exhaust still need some attention.

I think TStephen is referring to a Sign Shop (if not, then I guess I am )
Sign shops usually don't have the ability to cut the thin lines required for things like tank decals. Most of the time they can cut down to about 1/4" maybe 1/8" thick lines. So be sure to ask.
I used a place called Don Johnson Design and Signs in Spartanburg, SC. I emailed them a PDF of the decal I wanted. Specified the finished size/dimensions. Then I went over to their shop, picked the colors from the rolls of vinyl they had, and waited while they cut and assembled it.

$20 a piece for two tank decals.
Good point and something to be aware of and asking about when checking around, but I guess some do ...
"Don Johnson Design and Signs "

I did find a shop that could cut the decal I wanted but wouldnt. They were worried about copyright infringement.
I guess some people still have ethics.
