I have a model motorbike that I would like to replicate a livery on. The real bike looks like this:

And the 1/12 model looks like this:

How would I go about getting custom decals made? I don’t have a steady enough hand to do it in paint and I would ideally like to replicate the reflectiveness of the markings.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Drop these chaps a line.
They've got their own custom printing facilities for this sort of stuff, and do one-offs for modellers. (Used them for 4mm model railway stuff)

Biggest issue will be that you need stuff like logos in flat format, not a snap of the bike.

Don't know about cost for a full one-off job, but won't be silly money.
 
Thanks for that, I’ll look into it. I had a practice with some inkjet water slide decal paper, using a playmobil bike I pilfered from my son. It didn’t come out too bad but I would want a higher standard finish for the bigger model.
