The previous owner had some great looking decals made for the Burro. I'm going to keep these, and I'd like to add another one. Does anybody know where to get decals like these made?

My concerns with expandable foam come from what I've heard from others. I've been told to be careful spraying it into enclosed areas because it can expand and bend or break things. I never used it...

Sorry for the accusation Bill. I should have said "A previous owner" instead of "The previous owner". It must have been someone before you.
