Nice resto!

I've got a reproduction label for those if you want to copy it? I tend to laser print them and stick them to the still wet final coat of paint. I've tried glue too and that works just as well! Think the label you want is already uploaded on here in my pictures!

That's looking good Smile

Thanks all. The etch wasn't in bad condition so I scanned it and printed some copies with my laser printer, I uploaded it here a few days ago. If you've made a proper reproduction that'd be better though!

Ah, just noticed that! For some reason I thought this was SRS. label I've re-created is for the SRS 5' version.

No worries! I've seen your reproduction labels & I'm impressed. What software did you use to make them?

Very nice..For some reason I thought it was SRS aswell!
Slyspark   [02 Jul, 2017 at 11:29 AM]
You'll laugh at this - paint as that's all I've got! Still, works OK.
fluorescent   [02 Jul, 2017 at 05:22 PM]
Really? That's awesome! I might have a go at reproducing it then lol. I imagined it was done on some kind of cad software!

Nah, just bog standard paint!
