I source a lot of hard to get car parts through work and I can usually find the time to look around for some Scotty stuff while I'm at it - Finding original, unused SB decals is next to impossible though.
I've looked into the reproduction side of things very closely over the last couple of months and there's unfortunately no easy way to achieve the colours and quality of the originals. As we discussed at the very start of this thread, gold and silvers aren't able to be produced by conventional digital printing equipment. Alternatively you can have the designs cut of vinyl and layered over each other. That way you can match the colours, but not the flat printing of the factory decals.
To truly match the standard of the originals, they need to be screen printed, with gold and silver inks physically mixed to match. The problem with screen printing is it's not viable for small quantities and is geared towards large volume production runs. An ideal solution for Scott Bonnar themselves but not for the average restorer. The quote to reproduce the early SB45 decals was several thousand.
