Does anyone here make and print decals? I'm looking for some 1/25 scale Camaro emblems decals in chrome or possibly silver, chrome preferably if that's possible. I've been trying to work with photo etch but it's difficult for me because I keep getting the glue on my paint and wind up disfiguring the emblems trying to get them straightened out. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Not asking for a freebie, I'm willing to pay for them, I think, I'm not sure, since this is my first time asking for anything like this. If someone out there is willing to do them, by the way, I'd like about 10 or 12 of them, please let me know how much and I will gladly pay for them if you will let me know how you would prefer payment. Thanks to all of you, I know I haven't posted a lot but I do read and appreciate all of the knowledge that all you share.
 
I do not know of anyone here offering such services, but maybe someone will reply.

That said, there are commercial services that do exactly that, I'd prefer not to link any of them directly since I cannot vouch for them.

There's also the ability to print your own, if you have a high quality printer at home of course. The decal material is just a different type of "paper" to a printer. I'd think laser would be better than ik due to the water, but am sure water resitant ink can also be found.

From others' comments, it seems that laser has better results. I know that I have a good inkjet, but the decal papers I've tried don't receive the ink very well, so there is loss of detail.
Glossy photo paper is awesome, but I've not had great results on decal paper, both white and clear.

I have had some luck with custom decals from eBay. There are multiple sellers, who provide customized decals at reasonable prices. I haven't purchased any for a Camaro, but might be worth a look.
There are also a few Etsy decal sellers, who (among other things) sell Gofer racing decal sheets (often including emblems).
I've also had issues with PE and CA Glue, I hope you find what you're looking for.
 
I had some custom decals made based on pics I ripped from the intergoogle. The quality is great, but I won't include the source, because it took FOREVER. That, plus it was stupid expensive.

For the cost of one sheet of decals (actually, a quarter sheet of what I needed, but four complete sets...that no one will ever want), I later bought an inkjet, ink, decal paper...both white and clear, a can of clear to fix the ink, and some simple editng software. Decals I've made so far have been really nice.

I don't know if I can do silver, and doubt that chrome is possible.

Have to ask the original poster; Are you looking for decals or 3D emblems (which I cannot do)? What year Camaro?

With that info, I can look into what I might be able to do. I'll be honest and quick to respond if I cannot help.

Check slixx and gopher decals they both have lots of stuff when it comes to lettering and emblems. Great quality and good prices.
