Sourcing decals and respray question.

[CarltonWorksop]

Hi guys,

I have an old Carlton Pro AM. I've had some work done on the frame after a crash and will be looking to have it sprayed. I also managed to destroy a lot of the existing decals by inexperienced use of a pressure washer (I assumed the decals would be under a layer of clear-coat...)

I'm wondering where to get the replacement decals from? I've found one supplier on eBay but they don't have the full set.

Also, what would be the best way to proceed regarding the forks? If you can make it out from the photo, they are a different material half way down.

One last question: does anyone know the difference between my Carlton Pro AM, and the white ones I'm finding in Google image searches?

Cheers.

I don't know if this is within the purview of our resident decal guru @gil_m but he is also worth an ask

Forks are chrome partly & may polish up with some autosolvol, wire wool or coke & tin foil. Of course they can be rechromed if yiu going for a respray.

Anything damaged frame wise when you crashed!

It’s a bit of a saga. I made a post about it here a few weeks ago. A cracked and bent dropout lug. Then a load of confusion about what the dropout width should be.

Anyway, it’s going to be hopefully bent back into alignment, then I’m considering a respray. Or at least replacing the decals.

Think I remember & alignment by cold setting which should be fairly straightforward
