The two guys that I know of that make custom decals are out of Canada. They are:
Dan's Model Truck World - http://www.danmodeltruckworld.com/index.htm
Jbot Decals - http://www.jbot.ca

I have used decals from both, and both are excellent. Dan is great to work with, and has done some custom work for me in the past. Takes a little while, but the art work is great. Jbot does use an Alps printer, Dan does not. A word of caution on Jbot's decals: they are extreamly thin and will self destruct if you're not careful.

Good luck,
Jim

Fireball Modelworks will do them as well.

You could always try making them yourself. Testors has a strater decal set for about $10 that you can get at Wal-Mart or your LHS. If you do not need anything in white, it is quite easy and they can come out really nice.

I am using Dan's model Truck World. I sent him an inquiry and he responded within an hour. He is offering excellent service and pricing. I recommend him highly.

I clicked "Dansmodeltruckworld" and no luck. I clicked on Jbot and got their contact info. Now waiting for reply email.
I'm looking for someone to make a sheet of Navy Seabee logo decals for me.
