Default How about decals?

Okay I know there are a lot of painters out there willing to paint up bodies. My question is, what about custom decals? I have a bunch of logos I have made and would love to have them printed and place on my new SC10.

So who is printing custom decals out there?
Would I be okay just hitting up my local sign shop and having them printed there?
Decals I notice from RC companies tend to be a little different in terms of material (almost like a cleared over decal). Do you think a normal "sticker" type decal would hold up?

Thanks in advance.

I work at a sign shop...That vinyl is not as durable as what RC decals and wraps are made of.

I am now doing decals etc although may be easier to find someone stateside. Feel free to get in touch if you like though.

Yes, RC decals need to be laminated.
