Well, now that I have my first working pedal, i figured its time for decals!
Now, I have NO idea where to start with this, but from what I have seen everyone here looks like an expert (I read the whole pictures thread). So, what is the best way to get professional looking decals? I dont when it looks like its a little piece of tape with writing, if you know what I mean. I prefer decals like on professional pedals that have no outline. Thanks!

Well, I use waterslide decals for my pedals.
I make them big enough to cover the top of the pedal.
Is it expert looking? You be the judge :icon_confused:

I use water slide decals too! I use a mixture of big and smaller decals printed on a ink-jet printer and varnished over depends on the build. Take a look at this one i did (my first use of them)...

I pay £5 a A4 sheet so it's pretty expensive but yields great results. There are many other methods out there too I believe so check them out and if your still interested in waterslide decals and you'd like to know more about how I use them I can tell you if you PM me.

Hope thats helped a bit.
