Default tank emblem/decal

Hi all,
I currently have a rather (in my opinion) sticker that says shadow really large and smaller under it says Honda. I'd like to peel that sticker off and maybe get something new that says just Honda, or shadow, but in a different font/style.

Any ideas?

You can get the chrome shadow emblems on e-bay all day long.

Yeah, they have nice ones, but they are for the ACE or steed... Nothing that just says shadow or Honda (in the chrome sticky version)

They are typically an industrial double sided foam tape. I removed my chrome badges and went with nakedness:

Aced- that does look sweet, but I don't think my paint scheme would look as good naked.

If your decal is like mine it is UNDER the clear coat. So removing the decal means re-clear coating.

Why not have a decal that just says shadow or honda made up in the font/size you want just a few shades of silver darker than what's on your tank so it's almost like a ghost image.

I know what you mean. That's kind of a downfall I noticed on some of these tanks is the logos are sometimes all over the place IMHO. Assuming you can peel that off without damage, you might consider making something up yourself. These graphics companies nowadays can do amazing things. My daughter is a starving artist and she's made a design for me. She can reverse it also to create the desired effect for both sides. I get it on digits, put it on a thumb drive, hand it to them and viola! Instant Mylar sticker that will last a long time.

Find an image of something you're interested in. I can possibly make some magic happen.

I'll have to really do some looking around... I want to make sure what I put on there is really what I want. Like getting a tatoo. haha.

I liked the idea of the sticky chrome emblem... and I like the ACE one, just wish it didn't say ACE!
