Hi to All, For some time we have been trying to source decals and stickers for our members restoration projects and thanks to Mr.John Humphries of Rustic Spares, we will, in future, be able to supply decal sets through our online store. It will take some time to have them manufactured, but it will be worth the wait knowing that the restoration will be complete. Here are some samples: Original fuel tank logo Original fuel tank logo ATCO Catcher logo Victa 18 Special Fuel tank sticker (chrome) Victa Boomerang These are all currently available; check out John's website at Rustic Spares and my thanks to him for permission to post them here for our members to see. We will update you as more information comes to hand.
Please do not PM me asking for support. Please post your questions in the appropriate forums, as the replies it may receive may help all members, not just the individual member. Kindest Regards, Darryl

Hi Darryl Would it possible to get stickers made for 1970's VC160 Mark 3 and Mark 4 mowers, I'm restoring a couple and need the decals for the engines and green plastic engine covers.

At the moment we still need to take photos and measure up original stickers as we find them, I have a massive stash of old bases I will try and work on over the next little while. I do however have a brand new original series 70 victa sticker that may be able to be copied among others.

Is it possible to get some of the later versions of Victa stickers? And the Prima sticker perhaps? Or the sticker "keep hands and feet clear"
Any danger?

Hello vccomm and nolan
as learned vccomm says ... and; Silensmessor is the most experienced decal re-producer I know of. He has a respected international reputation.
Contact him through eBay - he may well have your needs in stock.
Hope this helps. ----------------------- Jack

No. Not helpful. Do I look up silenmessor on eBay? Nothing comes up. Is Silensmessor a user on here? Under what name? Because Silensmessor does not match any user name on here.

And No. He doesn't do decals any later than 1970 model Victa.
So I've done some scrolling through the forums here. Blokes have restored Victa mowers from 1980's. Painted them up and before and after photos show the stickers have been redone.
Just wondering if they is anywhere else members are getting the decals/stickers from.

Vccomm, point out the parts where I was rude? I was just asking a question which many people do on this forum. But if you think I was being rude by doing that then, please, let me know where.

yeah no problems. he said he doesn't know vita models well so pictures of what you want are better to send him. But unless he can sell a couple of each he makes there is no point for him. Which is understandable and fair enough.
Is there anyone else the forum knows of?
Also, as a side note, what paint do members use? Or at least what seal? Like spray paint with a colour and then is there a clear spray of the top to seal? Protect from petrol and oil?

All depends on the finish you want. For painting just a mower I find spray cans are fine, and then a quick coat or two of automotive 2pak clear. You end up with a good gloss finish which is durable and isn't troubled by petrol
