I print with inkjet either on glossy/matte adhesive paper or on adhesive vinyl sheet.
Then I clean the sheetmetal surface from greasy fingerprints or dust or other disturbing microscopic microbes.
Then I attach the colorful adhesive printout onto the clinical clean thin sheetmetal by avoiding bubbles between surface and coating material.
Then I cut carefully the outlined 2D shape either with scisors or with a sheetmetal cutter.
Finally I bend the 3D bodyshell of a B-unit.
Are your projects O scale or Standard Gauge?
