Wasn't 100% sure whether to put this in "Workshop" or the start of a project log in "Show & Tell"...

I've just started preparing my GPZ for a respray and paint job etc. and the lower pinstriping and GPZ tail logo is already off, but I think I'd like to keep the big "500S" logo on the belly pan. (see my sig for the before pictures)

Ideally I'd like to try a DIY/custom version of the same logo, but can't seem to find a font that looks exactly the same??

So I know it might be a bit of a long shot, but I was just wondering if anyone would know the actual name of the font(s) that Kawasaki used??

Do you have a picture you could up load as I can't get the one in your sig.

Paddy.

To be honest buying the decals from a dealer isn't that expensive, it'll save you a lot of hassle and they look 100x better than some laser cut stuff.

I can't remember exactly but the front fairing stickers for my old GPZ one side cost me about £12, and they're not small.

@ mattd - I'm not really concerned about price. I'm actually planning a respray and thought I might have a go at spraying the logo etc myself

@ Paddy Blake - here ya go.... (although I'm already considering the possibility of using an alternative font for a more custom job).
