When you say brand names, what do you mean?
Are you looking at tuner style decals or race cars?
You need to be more specific with your question....

Tuner type:
pcmodeller sells some, but I don't know his site URL
www.laubak.com sells some nice ones too

Race car:
www.hlj.com
www.mediamixhobby.com.sg

How do you print white areas and is there any special programs to use?

sorry, i havent used any of the paper yet so i have no idea.

i have been thinking about this problem too. maybe someone who does use the paper can suggest something.

perhaps you could give the paper a quick spray with some white paint from an airbrush or a spray can, wait for it to dry...then print...it might work

ALPS MD-5500 printer can print white, using white ink cartridge. As far as I know, that's the only printer that you can buy new, and prints white (, chrome silver and gold). MD-5000 and MD-1300 can do the same, and you can find them on eBay.

The alternative is to use a white decal paper and cut the excess arears, but if the image is complecated, it'd be hard to do.

You don't need a specific program. Any decent paint program can do.

BTW, Fujimi's Toge and Aoshima's Drift Machine series contain some tuner brand decals, such as Blitz, Endless, Mugen, TRD...
