did you somehow remove the old stickers without destroying them?
I would like to have a model for making new ones for the GFR swing arm.

Are yours printed on silver foil?

Hi Joachim! :D

Well.... I used an hairdryer to heat stickers, and after that I remove it using lightly a cutter. :shock:
I've stretched it very slowly and so total deformations of sticker it's quite limited... :wink:

After that I fixed sticker on a smooth paper support and I've scanned it with a standard scanner (300 dpi). :roll:
The scanned image was imported in an Autocad file (.dwg extension). :mrgreen:
With the help of orthogonal gear of Autocad I straightened the sticker shape. *thumb*

After that I handed the file to a graphics laboratory. *schnarch*
So they provided to print my new sticker on a plastic foil (color silver on both sides....). :D

If you want I can send you my .dwg file and you can convert it the right graphic format. *thumb*

You are welcome! :mrgreen:

Ciao

Unfortunatelly the sticker is on a part of the swing arm which is not flat :(
Beside this it's from chrome foil, so i could not get an good picture with the flashlight.
Maybe i should try it again on daylight conditions ;)

hi Joachim,
put 2 spotlights on the sticker. (each side one so you don't have shades) and close the flashlight of your camera.
