Mo Faraz is the only one I know that does them. He has more on his web site and can do other things as well. I think the feedback is down to worldwide postage, people not understanding how they work and the limitations of a delicate process. I can just imagine someone ham-fisting them on with no thought and then complaining about the product. That seems to be a large demographic these days But 94.5% isn't that bad ?

Prep must be meticulous and finished with the correct lacquer for best results and they are never going to be completely factory again even if everything is perfect but you can get pretty close.

I would give it a bit of practice first on something that does not matter before before mucking up one of the rarer bits like a cruise or BC stalk.

It helps if you are old enough to have used transfers as a kid :D

Hi there ,
Thanks for the detailed response, much appreciated .I have searched google and disregarding the Chines stuff mostly for boats I can't source anyone else . I was aware of Mo but a few years back I believe he had personal issues to deal with and I couldn't remember his web address.
On a side note how is F937 L?? doing, you bought her off me it seems in another life time , and I'm just wondering if she ever made it back to the tarmac.
Take care and thanks again
