Help Bump

I think he's looking for a decal or template or whatever he can find . . I looked for the same help a while back and resorted to brushing on silver leaf with marginal results.  I'm watching this one cuz I'm sure somebody's figured this out better than I did.

Hi Bub that is exactly it! Sorry did not make it clearer!!

Cheers Bub. I have two of these seats, one blue - unused and one black that cost me £400 GBP (Unreal prices) after I paid UK import.

It is excellent really, I polished a few scuffs but no matter what I look at with the decal, the lines are just no crisp.

I thought if I could get someone who had one to take a high RES photo, I could maybe use Photoshop and create a template to spray around.

Bit shocked there are no decals available. I did try and trace over the slight indent but its not enough to create anything with.

Hopefully someone will know an answer! Its all I need to finish my build!!

Have you tried Ultrahive?  It is the same font as the downtube decal on a GT Pro . . just a different size I think.

Hi guys - yes I dropped Louis a line but not heard back from him. Dont know if his mail is down.

It just needs to say GT BMX correct.

Thanks for trying to help!

OK, I've got a question. If someone gave you a template in a electronic format, are you capable enough to get it printed out then do what with it? The artwork is actually relatively easy to get your hands on, but I was wondering what you'll do from there. It's kinda delicate to "cut-out" once you print it out. Any ideas?
Oh, decals that small will have a hard time sticking to the seat because of the non-smooth surface.

I had thought to carefully cut out by hand with a surgical scalpel but then not sure what silver would look right anyway.

The decal might stick as the seat is smooth there (except where there is slight indent from the stamp that put the original on)

Make sense?

I'll have the artwork for you in a second, the problem is getting it to where you could spray through it to the seat. Understand there are holes in the "B" on BMX and those knockouts won't float for you to spray, plus the detail is very small. It would be great to have this cut from plastic to have durability or metal if laser cut IMO.

Hmm . . please let me know if this laser cut route works out for you.

The thing Orange (Julian) forgot to mention that the GT-BMX text is different on the 84' seat compared to the more available 85'-86' seats the GT is completely different!!

85'-86' seats



84' Seat

Thanks Finny! I did include a couple of links to the seats, would have helped if I included the photo's! Just spoken to a laser cutter who thinks he can do the job but will be £120 GBP! Most expensive seat in BMX history!!

But you can make you $$ (or ££) back by spraying others in the area for a fee

Haha Very good point!!
