Coin Op radio decals
#1

So I am going through these radios and have 4 different decals

One is a sticker decal so I figured I would try replicating it myself.

If there is anything I should change please let me know...!

Here is the before:
   

Here is the after:

The first one looks pretty good.  Only when compared directly with the original do I see a couple of minor differences; the black vs. green lettering and the spacing in between the M and E in COMEDY. It looks very good, and I'm sure the second one will also with a little more work Icon_thumbup

Kirk;
  There is some outfit that will reproduce water slide decals for you, Bob Andersen and Phil Nelson used them to reproduce sets of decals for the controls of early Admiral televisions. Apparently once they are set up they can run off new batches as needed at lower cost. You can go that route or have a go at using some water slide transfer paper like Lasertran. As you can see from teh cracking and flaking the decal in the first photo is some sort of paint based material rather then being on paper, sort of like the faux wood grain they used on radio cabinets and car dashboards, although paper may work. What is interesting is that it looks like something is underneath that first decal, perhaps another Tradio logo? It also looks like someone may have repainted the cabinet as there is grey paint under that beige paint. Whatever you do don't try to print these up on plastic stickers, even though print shops push them they look fake and will peel off over time from the glue letting go. 
Regards

I see now the "COM EDY" issue but I thought the decal was faded black!

Ugh, I knew I should have done green......

As for the decal paper, I should have thought of that. It is a plastic.... Icon_rolleyes

I guess I will have to get some and try it. As for the color of the cabinet, the grey is the metal underneath I think. Under the actual paper/plastic decal is an older globe decal.

Thanks guys

Kirk

Here it is:

You're doing great Kirk!  But being picky..... in the word TRADIO the letters R  D  &  O have some white lines going through them.  Also there is a small thing missing to the left of 1946
