I'm asking about the presumably silk screened or embossed markings on the sides and rear of ATC seats. My Pop has been doing upholstery on boats back in Florida for 20 years now and in his area the demand for high end upholstery has seemed to go away for the time being. Well, that and He probably doesn't care much for the locals LOL. I told him there is a profitable niche market in doing really primo motorcycle seat work. I know He could sell quite a few on eBay with an inventory of 10 or so different models, like 250R's 110's, 200's, 350X's, and even a few vintage 2 wheelers. So, how are the labels done? Anyone who has any thoughts or ideas, please throw them in here. Thanx, Y'all.

some people use stencils and vinyl spray. sounds easy but alot ive seen have bleeding around the edges. Mrs Moshaman on here seems to have a pretty good method

i have a local graphic's shop make stencils out of painter's mask. Then i use a vinyle paint/dye in a spray can. You just have to apply the dye in very thin coats to keep it from running in the edges.

my buddy prints his with silk screening....he has a decal/graphics/silk screening shop.
whatever he uses it holds up about as good as the factory printing
Dammit!

Pretty sure OEM is silk screened. Stencils would be alot easier though.
