When my kids were little they were really into stickers; Pokemon. WWF, Barp (sic) Simpson. Used to raise excitement when we went past Sticker Lane in Bradford on the way to the motorway.
Its full of car showrooms now so no use to the OP.

slikgraphics are good- fast delivery, and really excellent quality (bit thick mind but durable as all hell)

How custom?

Do you have the image in EPS format?

If not do you have it in PDF?

If you have a hand drawn image this can be replicated but won't be as cheap.

A very timely thread for me, too! I recently bought an old Ross MTB that is chrome with clear vinyl (or whatever) stickers on the frame which are in real rough shape. I'd love to have some new ones made, but can't spend a lot as the bike was only $150. I'm guessing that someone would have to do the graphics from photos that I'd take.

Oh, and I'm in the US if that helps/hurts.

Atlantic Finishers in Bury - he does stickers all the time when he restores frames. His work is superb.

I presume you're asking about bike frame stickers, if so +1 for Gil at Cycleshed. He did all the stickers for for my '95 Mongoose Amplifier. He is highly respected on Retrobike forum and has loads of files for old bikes ready to go.

Gil is really good; he did the decals fot my other half's Chameleon and had the patience if a saint due to colour changes etc.

Slik are good too, but I've found they can be a bit slow in getting back to you tough. Their decals are tough as hell though.

They look good. Shame that chap no longer does them.

Slik didn't get back to me after last request despite three or four emails which is a shame because my Tazer decals were really really good.
