    I've made my own Silver/gold decals with info gained online. Can't remember where but I saved some of the images.
    I use Adobe Illustrator and a Monochrome Laser printer with Laser decal paper.
    The tutorial has you wetting the decal and then flipping it over so you can paint the reverse.
    However with Illustrator you can flip the image so that it's reversed on the first print.Click image for larger version.

    cheers, Mark.
    Cheers Mark, i watched a similar video that has you filling in the infills of the lettering on the reverse side with a silver/gold waterproof ink called china ink, but i cant source any here, and ebay wasn't very helpful either. this ink is supposed to simulate true chrome which is what i want. I talked to the guy from the US who supplied the Fender decal and he is willing to custom make me one in chrome with custom lettering. If it was black or gold i would do one myself, but on a red headstock i dont have many option, and on the jaguar all the accessories are chrome and i really want everything to match.. Thanks for the help mate.
