Can you use normal lacquer mate or does it have to be special heat resistant lacquer?

Not sure mate, got mine done by a bodyshop but if you can use hammerite then I don't see why not - depends on how much abuse you give them and therefore the heat generated

I found a heat proof laquer and paid a few quid for decals off ebay, they do any colour.

im not so sure that would last too long as its essentially a sticker and depending on how you drive the heat would kill it.
does look good though.

It's not a sticker at all TT ! It's a print effect which transfers into the basecoat prior to final/clear coat , it makes no impact on the longevity of the paint or lacquer and high temp base and final coat was used ;-) , so far the rs has covered circa 1k miles inc track days and they are holding out spot on !

Regards to the looks , it's a subtle but very effective finish. They look black until your up close and then you realise the finish .
