Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might get reflective lettering to replace the ROMA on the front and back of my van which have all but disintegrated?

Have you checked with a signwriter to see if they can possibly restore/repaint the existing letters?

Unfortunately they are almost perishing before my eyes and unless they were coated in some sort of resin to hold them together they would not survive being reattached. Also 2 letters were missing from the front.

Suggest you send Daggsey a PM, as he is a signwriter. He may have some clues, but doesn't come online too often lately.

G'day Teresa, These letters are seen on a number of old vans, and you'd think in this day and age there would be something that would be a pretty reasonable substitute. It's not a subject I've researched to any degree, but a quick Google search just now for "plastic letters" threw up this website: Plastic letters and Numbers. They say their products are "guaranteed for life against fading, chipping and cracking." Maybe these letters are not the right size/colour/font for your requirements, but I reckon there would be other websites around that cover the same subject. Do a Google search for plastic letter images or something similar (eg. nylon letter images, etc), and when you see an image that looks promising, click on it and it will take you to the website the image came from. It's a good searching method, I've found, for trying to locate stuff. cheers, Al. |
