Platerpants Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Been building this secretly now to share its current progress. Its red and black my school colors, although ive never been a person to like school its my senior year of high school so i figured what the heck? ive always wanted to do a red and black car any way how bout throw the school logo on it somewhere. thats where i need your help. What is the best decal paper i can get out there under 20$ on amazon? I would greatly appreciate it.this is the logo i was thinking about but with out the red square. Now to the car. its testors revvin red lacquer and testors metallic black lacquer.
Erik Smith Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 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.
Mercman Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 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.

TLes Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Try Micro-Mark on line. You can buy small packs or the larger size, clear or white. Been dealing with them for many years.
