Separate question: Andrew, on my bike, the logos were hand
lettered, not decals. Do you do that in your shop?

We do not ourselves. We hire it out to an artist; not cheap,
it's highly skilled labor.

Who did yours? Did you do it yourself?

I never attempted it. I did trace the original, hoping to try
it someday, but it's 30 years later and I haven't gotten
around to it!

Vaguely related: For a few years, I've been nibbling away at a
weird project, a "reflecting ceiling sundial." I'm at the
point where I need to paint a complicated set of overlapping
analemma curves on my ceiling.

If I had a skilled pinstripe artist or sign painter who could
work in an anti-gravity field, I'd hire him. But pinstriping
brushes and rollers don't seem to work well upside down. I'm
forced to double-mask dozens of these curves. It's terribly
tedious.

I asked because I couldn't think of a frame with hand painted
graphics. I still can't recall one.

The Waterford I bought back in 1998 had my name (in cursive)
painted on it. I had assumed that was hand painted, but maybe it
was not?

In a thread tie (or maybe it was somewhere else in this thread?),
I bought the Waterford because I was envious of my buddy's classic
Paramount, and it seemed the closest I could come to it.


Waterford script (and block) graphics are dry mount film
transfers:

I know the guy who screens them.

Regarding Frank's Raleigh, these are actual 45 year old
solvent mount graphics (hence a bit yellowed) recently applied:

I bought a set for my Basso and they were absolutely perfect. Then I decided to clear coat them so that they wouldn't wear off like they do on Pinaellos. That was a very bad idea because it was far too cold that the clear wouldn't dry rapidly enough and it floated the decals and dried with rippled coat. Takeaway is to only do things like that in warm weather or under heat lamps like the pros do.
