I CLEANED & BLASTED THIS THIS LITTLE FELLOW,AND AM READY TO PAINT & APPLY SOME DECALS,I WAS THUMBING THROUGH G.P.H CATALOG AND NOTHING REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE! THEN I THOUGH, MAYBE JUST THE WORD "GREASE" ON BOTH SIDES ,BUT THE VINYL DECALS LOOK SO CHEAP!AND THEY HAVE A RAISED LOOK!ANYWAYS SOME INPUT WOULD BE GREAT! ANY IDEAS OUT THERE,THANKS GUYS!

I wish I were there I would hand letter it for you, Ive done a lot of it so I would use a good bold font that would be the ticket for your greaser. If you plan to stay away from the everyday look of stickers and letter it yourself you could save a little work, and not use the word grease but go with the word lube. Have fun!

COOL ,REAL GOOD IDEA! OR EVEN A VERY SMALL PORCELAIN PLATE THAT SAID "LUBE" WOULD BE NEAT! THANKS ROGER GREAT IDEA!

A decal specifying what weight lube was being used would be a nice touch.

80W/90 gear oil was commonly used with your unit.

I also put an original Marathon running man decal on mine.

Chris,
I think you should brand it! If you don't want to use stickers you could always get tins that you could very carefully form to fit the round body and rivet them into place. Just food for thought! Any idea what color you'll paint it?

I'll second that!

I WAS ORIGINALLY THINKING BLACK W/ YELLOW LETTERS ,"GREASE" AND WAS SEARCHING FOR SOME TYPE OF OIL DROP'S "DECAL" ,THAT KINDA LOOK LIKE TEAR DROPS OR SOMETHING ,COMING OFF OF THE GREASE LOGO! IM STILL NOT SURE AT ALL, I REALLY WISH I NEW IF THIS WAS A G&B OR NOT,ANYWAYS STILL TOSSING AROUND IDEAS! THE LUBE WEIGHT SPECS' SOUND GREAT,THAT I WILL USE FOR SURE!

You can make your own "water release" decals if you have an ink jet printer. The paper is found on the 'net and works pretty good.

I used it to make my 3 fantasy oil containers above my handy oiler collection. No raised edges like you mentioned on some vinyl decals.

DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT PRINTERS! MINE SAYS LASER JET PRINTER? WILL THAT WORK?

Contact these people, to make sure. But I do think this product will work for your situation, plus it looks to be an upgrade from the decals I made a few years ago.
