Does anyone have a source for the blue decal which goes on the rear of the drivers door which gives the manufacture date, vin, etc?  This is the one that always gets destroyed when removed for a repaint.

You can get blank ones on e-bay. Problem then is how to get the info printed on it, in the correct font...

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4-speed, close ratio 07M Paint code. Former owner painted it incorrectly. Not bad paint, but will paint it the RIGHT way down the road.
good luck!

I've printed some labels by finding the correct or close font and size on the computer, printing out a sample, and then taping the label over the printed sample and running it through again. (I'll run the sample through a couple of times to see how consistent the printer is)
Wide clear packaging tape will work for an overlay.
