Making your own is the best bet.

How do you make your own?

I have to admit Steve the link you gave me those decals are pretty carppy looking. I can understand why it would be better to make your own.

Other than making my own can i get any other kinds??

I'm a kind of graphic designer too (not professional but i know all i need to know to make decals). But i don't know how you get transparant (think thats the name in english) and sticky, what's the secret :D?

By (transparent) do you mean a sticker you can apply to the inside of your body.If so I would do a reverse image on an edge printer. Most pre made decals we get in the rc car kits we buy are edge printed.

Im looking for ones that just stick on the outside of the body. Not ones that are transparent.....

What's an edge printer? Can you hand me a link?

The best place for you to find an Edge is your local signshop. I've got one, and it's a great tool for any size of decal. If you can provide the sign company with a file saved at the correct size(Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDraw, whatever suits them), it will make it easier for them to provide you with what you need. These printers can print on opaque white, as well as clear, forward and reverse print, and since it isn't an inkjet process (they are thermal film printers), they are uneffected by moisture.
Hope this helps!

Yea, I am wondering the sam thing.. Our Epson Stylus Photo 1200 can print on transparency film to do for example over-head presentasions etc. Why wouldn't it be able to print on sticky transparency decals then?
