Hey, Joe...glad you checked in! And, thanks. Now I have to figure out the black stripe. I think the decal option will work, but if I trim them too much, they just was up coming off of the paper. Wells get it.

Re: Gee Bee Part two...Williams Brothers
Stressful morning! Pinstripes going on. While not perfect, I'm generally happy with them. I'm using World Paper's Clear Laser Printer Waterslide Decal film. Good stuff. Pretty thin, so it lays down very well and takes to Solvaset, too. Plus, it releases from the backing quickly.
The challenge with this attempt is figuring out how much of a margin to leave on the curves. They need some for support when removing from the backing. I've thrown away two or three this morning, as they will just bunch up and twist. Oh, that little tail you see in the middle is gone.

The pin striping is coming out mighty fine!
