Great info - thanks!!!

GREAT reference Harry! Particularly with the upcoming January race! :D

Vintage 1/24 - I know it's from a different racing surface, but would you consider making a set of decals for some of the top dirt racers? I mentioned making a #20 Brett Hearn asphalt body, does that mean you can do a set of decals for hard body car? I was never a fan of black cars, but his current car with block florescent yellow/green numbers won me over. Or what about decals for a hard body tribute to the Weld built and Balough driven #112 car that dominated the Syracuse race back in the 80's?

I could also go for something like - Frankie Schneider #52, Rags Carter #4jr, Fuzzy Van Horne #71e, or Ray Underwood's up-side-down #151 (said his car would probably be on it's roof as much as it's wheels - so why not). I'd love to build hard bodied cars that honor any of these dirt guys I've loved watching through the decades.

Feel free to contact me with some reference and I can let you know about making up some custom sheets for the 'Batmobile' or other unique or local cars.

Here is the thing, I mostly laser print to CLEAR decals. The big issue is I cannot print WHITE ink. So a black car is a problem.

Also the other colors when printed on black are not that fully opaque, so it requires a trick.

I have a WHITE decal paper that I use, but it needs a surround of the background black added as a 'spread' around the art. I use it and it works. Another method is to cut out a slightly smaller white 'choke' shape that goes under the decal art, something for the art to sit on when it is placed on a black car.

Here is a thread from another forum that talks about this stuff, I think page 2 has some pics and an explanation.

Because of this limitation I have been putting up decals for white (and light color) race cars, since they work perfectly and they work as is - no advanced modeling tricks needed.

The advantage of these hobby-style decals is the custom or unique designs that are possible that may not be available elsewhere.
