Check out the Hannant's website now and again - you never know your luck.

Hi Murli,
I don't think anyone answered your question the way you wanted. I just finished a model car and needed custom decals so I posted a request on the Scale Auto forum and got the name of a fellow in Manitoba, Canada. He has a website named:
www.sparetimehobbies.com His name is Pete and he did my decals from arwork that I had created in Corel 8. His work is very good. The decals are very thin and lay down quite well and the price is quite reasonable. Get in touch with him and I think you will be quite pleased.

try www.microscale.com I just bought one sheet for trying it out on my HP B/W laser printer so I can not give you the result. In Holland I payed 4 euro(approx $3.8) for one sheet, so be shure your design is perfect before printing it.
Good luck, Ad

Try hannants.co.uk, they sell decal paper.....or do a decal paper search in the net, maybe USA shops are cheaper, maybe you will find this in India as well.
Depending on the printer and paper quality you can print very good decals.
You need to use a protective varnish though once printed so that the ink wont flow.
You may need both white and transparent paper for the compinations. White letters on transparent is the most difficult issue, you may have to contact proffesional printers.
You will have to cut round the individual decal as well since the varnish will create a continuum on the paper.
