The "Canada Decal" - sizes?
Who knows in which sizes the "Canada Decal" came? I am particularly interested in the sizes used on vehicles.

Just my observation, the 1" ones as seen on radios tend to be gold/copper leaf and the larger ones have that replaced with more yellows and tan.

If it can wait to the weekend I will measure the one on my Carrier which is still original.

Decal sizes
I have spoken to the company that can reproduce these water slide transfers and mentioned an interest in 6,4,3 & 1 noting that the 1 has a different background colour.
The transfer I uncovered on my Dodge door was 4 Once I get some prices I will let you all know |

Clive Law's book "The Inlgis Diamond" has a copy of the original bulletin to the Canadian Manufacturer's association about the decals. See page 104.
It lists 4 sizes: 6, 3, 1-1/2, and 1". |

If you are doing 1-inch glitter type, I am interested.

It is possible to make these yourself as a friend of mine has made some for me. The artwork is available on line as is proved in this thread. Waterslide printer paper is also available on line, if not through high street shops, which allows you to print the waterslide transfer using your own computer printer in the same way you can print photos onto photograph paper. Once applied to the surface a coat of clear lacquer will seal it. I cannot tell yet if fading may be an issue but so far so good.

Finished decals
Hi all,
Here a couple of pictures of the reproduced decals - 4 & 6 they have turned out really well and it has been worth the effort. I have got some 4,3,2&1 at the moment (the supplier done some 2 to make use of the available space on the paper) Hopefully the pics have uploaded Kevin |
