I just started using Papilio decal paper after a recommendation from CadillacPat. You can get a sampler kit on Amazon for around $20 (IIRC). It comes with clear and white decal sheets as well as sealer and application stuff. I have also used the BMF decal material and it works pretty well - I did have problems with small decals not settling on the edges.

I made some decals for the interior of a model and it lays down nice and easy without edge curl. Check the diecast section on this forum to see some of Pat's work - outstanding.

Jake you could also reduce the size, and then just print it out. Trim it, and use Crytsal Clear window glue from Mircoscale to attach it.

Try Micro-Mark on line. You can buy small packs or the larger size, clear or white. Been dealing with them for many years.
