Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Mine still looks good with over 12 years of gigging.

The point I'm trying to make is that I don't want a permanent MMT paint job at all. I don't want to paint over an 84" V63, and ruin the finish. I just would like a sticker type decal to be able to put on and take off when I want to. I have a bassman sticker for one of my Hofners (let it Be), a Red Rose Speedway sticker, and would just like to have a nice pre-fab vinyl sticker to put on. I understand if no one here can do it. But maybe someone does know another person or business that can make custom made vinyl stickers, We could all have one to mess around with if the price is not too bad. Just a standard right hand and left hand version with the correct art work and colors like the model that is shown on this post. Anyone have a connection?

I understand your point. All I was saying is that the only thing I have seen was from a guy on eBay. And the only time I saw it was years ago. And he didn't guarantee it wouldn't ruin your finish. I had a MMT and a Red Rose Speedway done, and they are both permamnent and I coudn't be happier. Thats just me though.

Yes, everyone gets that and have replied the best they could.

Now all you need is the time and/or money to produce the camera-ready art.

Personally, I wouldn't do this to any Rickenbacker, especially if it's finished in CV.

Note that this is tedious to apply and remove...

Wow! I don't know if it impolite to ask but what does a paint job like that cost!!!

I suggest going for authenticity; buy a dimebag, and some water-based poster paint. . . .


Kidding aside; the vinyl stick on idea is pretty cool...Hey! This could be an entrepreneurial opportunity!

Good point, Paul. People have asked me what I paid to have my MMT done, and my reply is always the same. I can't quote someone elses job. You would have to contact them yourself.

I can't really suggest anyone specific, since I live in Las Vegas, and you live rather far away. However, you might want to check
with somebody in your area who makes vinyl signs/banners, or those vinyl car/bus skin thingys (can't remember what that
stuff is called). If they can't do what you want, they would probably be able to steer you in the right direction.

Vinyl= Death of a nice finish.

Think Mylar.

Save for a C64 and have Paul customize it. That will most definitely save the finish on you 84 V63. The C 64's are popping up quite a bit.

Granted mine's not fancy or well-thought-out, just paint splattered on a Ric 4001S-LH, but I don't recall my MMT paintjob costing anything. I already had the paint.

Ronn makes a case for free. Mine cost a little more than free.
