I am looking for quality reproduction K3 decals. The ones I bought from DRATV are crap. I knew something was wrong when I opened the sleeve they were in. The colors are off. When I went to install one, I noticed it's slightly smaller than my original as well. I've seen these decals elsewhere but hard to tell if the colors are correct. It seems to me everyone sells the same wrong ones. Anyone run into this before and found a source for accurate K3 decals? See comparison below.
It's a shame whoever made these didn't get the color right. The size doesn't bother me, but the colors look awful. Makes me think they used a faded original when scanning for the color. Since a lot of the parts people sell come from the same suppliers, and this particular year was unique, I'm afraid to order another set from someone else. I don't want be disappointed and out more money.
Original. This bike was stored indoors since 1980 or longer. The colors are original and bright.
Reproduction. Yellow is too orange, Green is too blue. Colors are faded. Overall size is slightly smaller when measured.
