Reply to "Have you made your own decals?"

I have, but as I said I'm running low on ink and it would take me a day of diddling to get things unpacked and set-up. Several guys on the Alps Group will do it for you.  How long is the blue stripe ?   Ideally you should have the lettering and the stripe printed together.  Might make sense to have several printed and put them on your existing Alaska RDC also, as matching specific colors is difficult. I would paint over the existing blue stripe before applying the decals with a gloss gray as decals stick much better to gloss paint. Then after the decals have been applied and dried I would put a coat of clear over them gloss or flat what ever suits you.   As for colors I usually settle for close enough when printing for myself.   If you can choose PMS colors for your stripe and letters it will help whoever prints them for you.  Though don't expect an exact match.  

Plan B.   Print shops that do silk screen can make your stripes on tape. Don't depend on the tape's adhesive alone though. Clean the area with denatured alcohol and then thin some Weldwood contact cement till it is like water and carefully apply a thin layer where the tape will be. This will keep the tape from curling up for many years.   Take an old credit card and use it like a squeegee to bone the tape down.    Good Luck, John
