So, this is what vintage decals look like when they've been painted over instead of masked off like they should. I tried all of my bag of tricks to remove 20 year old white paint, and got enough of the decal to reproduce it as best as I could in the image above the original decal. This is off our Brunswick Larson day cruiser cabin sidewall. The original was an embossed silver decal material. I'm reproducing it on an outdoor durable automotive chrome with UV inks using the artwork from the print above the original.

Looks great, and I'll be using them on the cabin sides. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
