Howdy folks.

I got a lot of helpful responses to my previous request for painter recommendations. To refresh the memory of anyone who might be interested, I am planning to have my kinda beat/not original finish Merckx MX Leader repainted in the Faema replica style. Merckx offered a bike around 1990 that had all the details I like , a lot like the current Molteni MX Leader with the Eddy face diamonds on the head and seat tubes and the block italic downtube lettering. Turns out that Gita can't really help at all with decals except for possibly the face diamonds. My new question is, what painters can supply all the decals I would need? I don't have anything that can be duplicated. Several shops that sounded great and had very attractive pricing said they could do it if I could supply the decals, which I apparently won't be able to do. I suspect CyclArt can supply the decals. Is there anybody else? I am really hoping to stay below about $450.

Thanks,
