Patto's place has a bunch of 2009 Indy decals available. These are not as nice as Indycals but they are pretty good. Lost of opportunities for the Mattel models and any left over Greenlight 1/18.
They are a little pricey.

That should have read "lots of opportunities"

Never ordered from him - seems to be a lot of stolen artwork on his site. Looked at a NASCAR decal that was plainly a sim-racer scheme that was ripped off.

I've used Patto's decals for my Brabham projects. His BT20 decals were right on with the gold stripe and behaved very well when I put them on. That said, I also did not see the crispness of work that Indycals has. Patto's decals have their use and Indycal has theirs (wait 'till you see my 1/24 Matra MS10 Matra you'll see what I mean. We use what we must to complete our scratch built racing cars.

I ordered two sets of decals from him in 1/18th scale.
Danica Patrick Boost & Paul Tracy Geico. The decals work good as long as you don't clear coat them ahead of time. Place them and then clear once they are dry because they won't lay down over curved surfaces if you clear before hand.
His colors are also not very vibrant so I will end up painting those sections instead.
Also, his decals are slightly oversized in 1/18th scale. I cannot comment on any other scale. Michael is the way to go for sure unless you don't have any other option.

Thanks for the good word guys. Keep in mind, that I will have several 09 decals available. 09 Penske is done, and 09 Graham Rahal is 95% done - just need to get them up on my website, which I will make every effort to have done this week. I plan to do at least 3-4 more including Will Power's black Verizon and John Andretti's Window World car. I have the Greenlight 1/18 body, Hotwheels 1/24 and Jorgensens 1/25 bodies, so you can be assured of good fit. For the most part the Hot Wheels and Jorgensen bodies are similar enough that one scale will work for both, but if I run into a situation where it won't, I will make both scales available. I also plan to offer a HotWheels conversion sheet that will basically be the missing engine logos, tech stickers and proper tire decals.
