Vinyl Graphics

Post by Ewalk02 »

Can someone give me a little info on where they have been getting vinyl graphics for the Highlander? Is there a catalog to choose from or can you design your own? Also, how difficult are they to apply? Thanks!

Contact Steve Dentz (stede52). He designs and cuts vinyl graphics, and supplies Just AC with their "Just Aircraft", "Highlander" and "N" number decals. Email him at stede52@comcast.net, or call 425-417-7943.

I contacted Steve but he said that he only deals with the N numbers and the logo. I was mainly looking for someone that could create a stripe for the side as well as a few other locations.

For previous aircraft projects (several years ago) we had good luck with local sign shops. Try the yellow pages and see what they can do for you.

If you want to do it yourself, try Earl Mich Co. for graphics materials.

Dennis, thanks for the plug. I do want to make if clear that I will only do decals (Highlander,Just AC and STOL logos), lettering and numbers. Large graphics like what I have on my plane or large/long strips are something that I will only do if its local to me because if you don't have experience in applying vinyl graphics around compound curves or corners you will have problems. Simple strips or lines are easier done with paint for those inexperienced in graphic application.
