Joe! You are a wizard! I sure would like to know how you made corrections to a decal that large and complex as well as simply how you manage to set that on the quarter panel surfaces so flawlessly! Good gravy, that looks perfect. I assume you use Micro-Sol and Set but how you place the orange background decal with white striping is just unbelievably well done. No tears, no bubbles, the final effect really appears to be painted just like the prototype was!!!!!

Thanks Lyle.

Bruce: thank you as well. Yeah those were NOT fun decals to apply. Hopefully the roof paint repair goes without a clich. Guess we’ll find out.

Ok fellas!! I managed to mask off and paint the roof white without destroying the rest of the paint/ decal work that I've done. It aint perfect in regards to "correctness" but I got it close enough for me to be able to live with. I've also applied the gloss coat over everything...
