Hi All,

I know this has been done before, but im about to get the boot of the 400 resprayed and also refurbing the wheels so there fore need some new stickers

I know a decal making company, so can have the '400 SE' (which has anyone noticed looks like GOOSE when you stare at it on the car???' but need to know the font-otherwise its a slow process flicking through word fonts!!!

Also, the centre caps could do with some renewing at the paint in the centre is a little scratched-anyone any ideas if any ones done this? Should i paint the black and stick a TVR badge on top or....??

Ideas please!

Thanks!

Centre cap badges from ebay or RT. Try contacting Blaine, he had some OZ Racing stickers made for the rims. 400se decals also on ebay and not alot of money

Goose? Take more water with the tablets in future

I'm afraid I can't help you with the font but if you contact a fellow pistonheader called "Viper", he runs a graphics company called race-graphics. Linky here: www.racegraphics.net/

He has all the fonts & sizes already and I will vouch for the quality of the stuff he sells.

I also had some wheel centre stickers off him recently (Round sticker in black with silver TVR) Again, just the job.

If the silver paint on your centres is flaking off, try a test piece first but I have had excellent results with a spray product called "Plasticoat". Within the range, they sell a chrome effect spraypaint. If you take your time, the end result does actually look like chrome. You can get the stuff from most hardware stores.

IIRC it's not a font, just a graphic.

Hi Guys spotted this thread by chance, the TVR font used for the decals isnt an actual font you can download or find, like most big coporate companies they were either designed in house or subbed out to a design agency, though some slightly modify a known font

to get hold of all the TVR decals, I brought original literature/logos then scanned and edited them into my graphic cutting package, then sized them up to factory dimensions
