I'd like some race numbers in a standard design, but a custom colour (to match my bodywork). Any pointers?

TIA

I've used isaydingdong.co.uk for graphics and race numbers before, worth a look...

Have a look at: ratmally.com

They do a lot of very cool stuff.

Is this for MSA-sanctioned events? If so, numbers must be black!

But they don't do custom colours.

any local sign shop can do this for a couple of quid, and if you speak nicely may do it whilst you wait.

doesn't it depend in the champs/series regs? Legends and Pickups Trucks have coloured nascar style numbers, like Moto GP numbers, but bigger. I think they look great.

Good point! Look great, yes, but they trade style for legibility in some cases.

Another exception is, of course, numbers on windows which are normally white.

SOme numbers in black as patterns
A roll of Fablon in the desired colour.#
A biro
A pair of scissors.

Voila! Numbers in any colour you like, even mahogany wood grain effect, graniter worktop or brick:
