SOS Fire Guard Decals

Post by Myers » Sun Nov 27, 2022 1:07 pm

Does anyone offer actual waterslide decals for the SOS Fire Guard fire extinguishers? I've only been able to find the vinyl "sticker" type from Midwest Military. I know a gentleman on here has made new decals for his extinguishers, but he won't sell just the decals.

I have three original extinguishers that I am about to restore, and was hoping someone had a source.. If not, I'll just use the sticker type from Midwest.

Thanks

I make decals that are 1:1 replicas to the originals (down to the font styles) in two different styles, but they are on a paper which replicates the original 'sheen' of the gold from the originals and you'd have to glue them down yourself. Finding a waterslide will be tough, as that gold sheen would be tough to replicate with that material, I've been looking!

FUBAR has made them in a waterslide, and they look really nice. I attached a photo from his listing.

I could live with a non waterslide so long as they look better than the vinyl ones. Would you be willing to sell a few?

I just looked through your blog and found your photos of the decals that you make. They look really great! Would love to buy a few if you are willing to sell them.
