Just about any sign shop...Look in the yellow pages. Most of them can reproduce any picture or lettering. Ron.

Be careful, as prices vary greatly. I bought magnetic numbers on-line and locally, the local shop charged 50% less than online. The best thing is to go to the shop and speak directly with them. Phone conversations are not the best way to tell if a shop is capable.

I'm looking for good (but inexpensive) cow spots for my pepper white MC. Any leads would be appreciated...

Prices vary greatly, but so does quality. My advice is do your homework and if you talk to a local sign shop get the opinion of more than one. There are lots of different products out there and each shop will try and sell you on their own.

As far as magnetics go I can't tell you much. For roof graphics you can go with standard cut vinyl or a 3M product. Both have their benefit (price vs. quality) and it's up to you, the consumer, to make that choice.

If you have other questions I'd be glad to try and help.

Buy the black magnetic material...about 3 feet, I believe it comes 3 feet wide, and cut your own. Keep in mind that some filthy swine will steal the patches if you park in a vulnerable place.

Where can one buy the material?

I wouldn't ever keep them on while parked in public, but thought it would be a fun addition sometime...

How 'bout some magnetic flames:

Magnetic Flame

I have never dealt with the above site. Just found one day while daydreaming about the "Trick your Mini" website.

See ya,
