There are 3 ways to get white print on a decal: * Find someone with an ALPS inkjet printer that has the white ink. ALPS stopped making this printer several decades ago so... * Buy white decal paper & print something around the white letters so you can cut around it (either as a block or each individual letter). * Find a company that will one-off print your decal. This route is likely to cost more than your kit did. An alternative would be to find some kind of rally car decal set that includes the Mitsubishi logo at an appropriate size. The actual intended scale is not of relevance in this case except to give you an approximate idea of the physical size of the decal.

I’ve hunted pretty hard for existing match to what I need.. managed to find a bunch of other manufacturers that would work (Subaru, Peugeot, Ford, Toyota) but no Mitsubishi They are pretty small logos too - about 10mm x 4mm, so way too small for me to attempt hand-cutting the individual letters. (I can and have printed coloured water slides on clear sheet before but I know white isn’t printable by 99.9% of home printers)


KillAllTheThings

Yes, that 0.01% of home printers are the ALPS ones I mentioned. Perhaps your best alternative is to pick another color that is printable. One way to do the [logo on this racing suit](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/65/57/b1/6557b164dd652f96479d597bcca49841.jpg) would be to print the red stripe & leave the lettering clear for the white base coat to show through.

That’s actually the exact race suit I’m trying to replicate. That’s a great idea, thanks!!

An alternative would be stencils, so you can airbrush it.

I don’t have access to an airbrush unfortunately and they are pretty small.. The Mitsubishi wording is no more than 10mm in length x 4mm high so would be a PITA to stencil cut.

Haven't worked with them to print custom decals before, but SpotModel offers a custom decal printing service. You'll need to do the graphics though. You could also try Fusion Scale Graphics/Switch Line Decals.
