Default S4+ Cam Cover Lettering- Anyone Do Custom Colors?

I know Jaeger carries black and red, but I'm looking for medium blue inserts, if anyone knows a place. TIA.

Chris, if you are powder coating ask your vendor to to fill in the letters when they put it in the oven.

I decided to do it "in house", lol. If I were going the powder coat route I would definitely do it that way though. Thanks.

I'd love to find a program that has the Porsche font that I could import to use on our 60 watt laser cutter. I could just cut some out myself.

Probably what I'll have to do, but I'll have to get someone with far steadier hands than I. LOL.

I have the Porsche font for Microsoft Word. I believe it's a True type font. Can probably email you the file.

Chris, what Lizard said.

I went to the PepBoys touch-up case. Dupli-Color HA 00980 "Electro Blue Pearl" for Honda, and TY 01617 "Classic Silver Mica" for Toyota. Nice applicator brush, easy to use (verrry slow, on the coffee table), and still looks perfect after 3 years. Good luck whichever way you go!

Yes please! I'll PM you my info. Thanks much.

Martin that's the cam cover look I'm going for. Thanks for the pic.

Geschwindig, that does look good. I may have to go that route. We'll see. Thanks.

That's what I did on my '89 GT with the intake. Painted the intake black and did the lettering in red and yellow. The lettering really popped.

I can do letters/numbers for the S4/GT/GTS's intake in most popular colors.
Unfortunately not for the cam covers.

High performance 2 mil. cast lettering vinyl.

Not polyurethane thick stickers.
