I have an Ideor Asso that has "white background decals", these were prepared by Marinoni after painting the bike (This information was told to me by the previous owner who restored this great riding 1962 Professional model. The decals look great and hold up beautifully without clear coat If you would like to see the result - click on http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=viewall&albumID =80432615

Create a great day !!!
