Can they replicate the "HIGHWAY" "PATROL" for the trunklid too?

One set for me as well. Thank you for doing the leg work on this.

I will post up a picture of the vita Chrome decals so that you guys can see what I am talking about.

Chris,

the M squad stuff is the wrong color, both the star and the Highway Patrol decals. The Vita Chrome "Highway patrol" door decals are one decal with the color printed on clear vinyl. They have a distinct metalflake to them also. The color matching process is the hardest thing to build. (so says this vendor anyway).

are your M-squad letters all separate like the Highway patrol decal on the trunk lid? If so it is incorrect. don't get me wrong, it is better than no decals at all but the M-Squad stuff I have seen is not even close. I realize they are about the only thing out there but hopefully this stuff will be better.

I am off monday and tuesday , I will try to get some good pictures up.

Vitachrome pics are in the CHP Resto section. Here's one of the one-piece lettering:

everything you see in white is the backing on the decal. The decal is a clear vinyl that is one piece with the letters printed on the clear vinyl.

here is the VitaChrome door decal. The white edge you see around the seal is the backing. Where you see the white is actually the 1/4 inch of clear vinyl all the way around the edge of the decal.

Some of you know that I have been working over a year or so now at getting CHP door decals remade the correct way.
I spent endless hours recreating the file for these decals. HOURS spent on just the State seal inside the star.

I found a company that does that type of screening. Infact, the owner laughed when I showed him a sample of an original Viatchrome set.
He told me that he probably screened those decals at some point in time.
He has been doing this for over 40 years now.

He told me Vitachrome subbed the work out, that there are only a few companies out there that do this type of printing.
How lucky was I to find this guy ???

Well, I received them a week ago. They are exact. Couldn't be any more perfect than originals. Backing paper is not cut to the shape of the star as you can see, but it gets thrown away anyway.
I could not see paying extra just for them to die cut the backing paper.
They were not cheap to have printed as it was.

My wish was to try to get the pricing around $175.00 a set, but wasn't going to happen.
I also had the " Safety and Service " decals made in the clear rectangle for those that want them.
Complete set for one car including Safety and Service $220.00 plus shipping.

If you are wanting a set, I am going to require proof that you have a car these are going on before selling them to anyone.
I am not selling them to just anyone that wants them, I want to make sure they are going on a restored CHP vehicle first.

I have 25 sets available. PM or email if interested.
Send an email address, I'll try to get better pics to you.

Again, the only difference is the backing paper. The color is exact, file is exact as I duplicated an original set.
You will not be able to tell the difference from a Vitachrome decal.
