Egg Harbor Township, NJ
Need some opinions and hopefully some advice here. I am in the process of reproducing a control panel for a Midway Flying Turns. Mine is in rough shape and literally falling apart, so a new one was necessary. I was unable to find the original Formica pattern that was used (some kind of linen pattern), so I had it laminated in a flat white Formica. Shown here are my original and the new reproduction. My original intention was to recreate the design in adobe illustrator, and create screens and silkscreen the design directly onto the laminate. Now I am thinking that the linen pattern will be difficult to recreate via silkscreen, and my opinion is that a vinyl decal would represent the design better overall. I would appreciate opinions on this, as well as a recommendation on where to have a decal produced, and what to have it printed on and with, or someone that can silkscreen it properly. Also whether or not to clearcoat in either case, and if so with what product to do so with. I can provide a file to be printed, I can scan and correct missing areas. Thanks for any help or advice on this!
