Is there any where that I can get the red stickers that go on the side of mvs machines? (6 slot)
I'm needing some to replace the ones that I own, and I started looking around the net this morning.
And I've never really attempted to clean up a cab before. Any suggestions?

They are not really stickers. It's actually silkscreened red pica vinyl. I have not been able to find the red vinyl anywhere.

Your best bet is paint and then have a sticker cut for the logos.

Oh man. I don't think I will mess with painting it. Thanks for the help, I should have known just to ask you in the first place.

I remember a little while ago a member here posted a similiar question and he got a response from another member who had actually did a repaint on his cab.

He took a sample of the red vinyl and had it matched at his local paint shop, and once they had that they got the color and tone done perfectly. Then like Briggs said, he had a stencil made of the SNK/MVS logos on the side.

It took some time, work, and money, but the end result was quite impressive. Well worth the venture if you happen to be a perfectionist.

Wish I could remember who that was, or where it was posted, but unfortunatly, I can't...

Personally though, I like the paint scrapes and other abnormalities on the side of my cab, it adds character.
