Anyone know if you can buy decal sheets (I asume basicly there sheets that you print on them, then cut them out and use them wet apply) from like Kmart or home depto or staples or some where like that? Becuase I realy want to use custom decals on a kit I plan on building…
Decal paper is available at some hobby shops. I’ve not ran across any at Staples or other places like that. You’ll also want to pick up a bottle of Decal Film to seal the inks that you use. If you are considering using a printer to make your decals, I don’t recommend an ink-jet, lazer printers produce the best results.
If you have a laser printer you might check this web site out, Tango Papa, for decal paper. I’ve used his stuff; it is cheap and good quality.

For inkjets I like this decal paper from Super Cal:
Hi,
Has anyone out there tried using an alternative to the spray can ink set for the bubble jet printer decal paper (such as Future). I live in Canada and haven’t been able to find the decal set can here…and they won’t ship it through the mail.
Thanks,
Mike
You will need to shop around.
Some places sell the coat in Can and also in Bottles so that you can apply it with a brush.
I have heard some rumours that there is now pre-coated inkjet decal paper out you, you can use it like the paper for the laser ALPS printers.
