Jerryl,

A good place to start, would be here. If you have a hard time finding them on your own, call them.

Edit: BTW, don't let the term, signs confuse you, they state, that is how the search function is set up for Decals.

They do list the kit, but out of stock...Do not list the decals, but obviously someone makes them. Not sure it would be worth the price to have  1 set made & I would probably have to supply art work.

Jerryl,

How about a 2'' one, a little big for HO.

Thanks, but if you google Zerolene tank car, you will see that the name & logo are spelled out on the side as well as their slogan.  They also have a different round logo on the ends.  It makes for a very interesting tank car. Surprised decals are hard to find. But I guess not many people are decaling their own cars anymore.

Jerryl,

I'm aware of what all the Zerolene signs and decals look like. I have spent a considerable amount of time, looking at all there ever was, in relation to Zerolene, since you posted about it. But what I did not know. Is the fact that Zerolene is a product of the Standard Oil Co. You had my curiousity going a mile a minute and I just ordered some ink-jet decal printing paper, to see if I can copy and print my own, I'm sure I can, I have the correct machines to do so.

I would also suggest trying to make your own decals.  I have produced many decals, both dark lettering on clear background and white lettering on a colored background using Evan Designs decal paper.  I recently renumbered several ATSF hopper cars (all had the same number) by placing white lettering over an oxide background color.  As with any white background decal paper, the printer cannot actually print white so it prints nothing where the text is located and the white decal paper shows through your background color.  Give it a try.  It's fun and one more thing you can point to and say, "I did that!"

I was really surprised when Art Griffin didn't have these decals.  They make a nice looking car with the polar bear & the crown on the ends. I purchased an old kit & I lost some of the decals to deterioration before I sprayed & sealed them. I, like you have gotten the Zeroline "bug".  I have never printed my decals, but use Photoshop quite a bit so it couldn't be that hard.
