I would like to have some custom automotive script made (like the Porsche script on some speedsters). Does anyone know where I might get someone to do this? Thanks

THE ONLY ONE I KNEW WHO MADE SCRIPT WAS DIRK WHO LIVES IN LA CRESCENTA, CA. YOU CAN BUY SCRIPT FROM VINTAGE AND OR JPS.
Might start with a casting or forging shop. Might talk with a jeweler also. Or maybe even your dentist (my old dentist loved making things, he was the one that tought me about cars and working on them).
Wouldn't any shop with a CNC plasma or water jet be able to do this? Just get a graphic design pro to draw the script you want, size it on the computer and hand it to the machine shop along with some folding money, yes?
Thanks to all. I think CNC, plasma or water jet is he way to go but I have not yet been able to find anyone local who will do the small amount of work I need. Thanks again. George

JPS has Porsche script .....kinda pricy...just click on " Parts " on their web site. You have to call to get the price of the item you want...and the Google can find stuff at EBay and other sites unless you want a one off item that is custom made.
I use Motorhead Jewelry when we need custom scripts made. Expensive but you get an OE looking emblem. That said, what is it you are trying to make? It may have been done before...
Go to the "Makers Lab" and use a 3D printer, they have silver and gold media.
Maybe next year, most of the 3D stuff isn't ready yet.

I am looking for a one off custom script for a project a friend is doing. I am not yet sure what the final script will be but it looks like Motorhead should be able to produce something that would work. Thank you very much for this lead.
I think there was also one of the members here who lives/works in Thailand that used to speak of being able to get this stuff done for reasonable prices.
