600 F4i tail decal question
#11
Well, my tail decals showed up today. Pretty quickly actually. I got them from:
replicals.com
If anyone is interested.
Here is a shot of them below... I'll probably apply this weekend, so I'm not rushed.

$&@;!!! regener8ed... Here I was all primed to put them on this weekend and you go and show me THAT! I don't know why I didn't think of that myself, I do the same exact thing in photoshop when I'm making posters or cards or whatever... Duplicate the letters in another color for a little "drop shadow" effect! Now I might have to wait to apply because I think I want to do something similar... You know what they say about "imitation"
Oh and Nikolaya, glad I could help out!
Edit: Just visited replicals again... ordered second set! regener8ed, you owe me 23 dollars Once I get them I will take time and see if I can make a little photo show or video of the application process to share.

Darn that looks good, great color scheme! Now I'm thinking of replacing the stickers I removed and maybe a little paint as well. Is that a hard shell replacement for your seat? Custom?

Thanks for any tips... I just want mine to turn out looking as nice... I did a mock up in photoshop, but don't want to share yet... I think it will look really cool

yes, there will be that slight difference in thickness at the opposite edge of the decals; but i'm a pretty picky guy and it didn't bother me. no trouble with adhesion either. my best tip would be to tell you to not show too little of the underlying color OR too much -- too little could leave an edge that will work its way loose over time (not to mention making the shadow pointless), and too much of an offset will make the top layer overlap with other areas of the underlying color (for example, the top line of the upper 6 would touch or cover the top of the oval on the lower 6.) for best visual results you want to leave at least a tiny bit of base paint showing through around the characters when both layers are laid on top of each other.
