Hello VVers,
I was wondering if any one has had the Original Duralvan decal reproduced? The Decal is chrome backed with white, blue, yellow. It has a crown in the shield, Viscount in bold with duralvan below the viscount. I have googled away for some time and think that maybe there just hasn't been a good enough existing sample to copy from.
I would hate to see one of these decals be added to just a distant memory of what they might have been so any technical help in getting the colours and layers correct would be a team effort.
I will post a picture of the version / year model below.
Leon

The black/dark areas were chrome and the white and chrome areas had colour layers on top of the chrome.
The V in the shield and the horizontal stripes behind the word viscount had a blue layer from close inspection.

G'day Leon, I can't say I've seen a decent example of the early Viscount logos showing the original colours. I also can't remember anybody saying they'd had their sticker reproduced. It's a pretty expensive exercise to have only a couple of stickers done (unless you know someone in the printing industry - at "mates rates"). The rv stickers mob show the Viscount logos they have reproduced, but the Duralvan version isn't quite the same as the one on your van. Here are a couple of photos of Viscount Duralvan - A5240 - which has the 1968 paint design on the sides. Notice the sticker is a different shape to yours...   I have no idea whether the colours on this sticker are the same as how yours looked originally. cheers, Al. |

I did see that one Al,
The decal for that one is quite different, the earlier models had blue edging on the V in the shield and the shield had a blue edge as well.
A lot easier to compare now it's on the same thread

Thanks Ted,
Will give him a ring but need to get all the layers of colour correct before racing off.
