Hi all,
You remember my XJ220 that I did
viewtopic.php?t=12237
After seeing this a friend asked me to do a Slot It blanko in the Castrol liveries. A Replica of the one that won the 1990 Daytona.
So I intend to go from here:

To this:

Again I will be making all my own decals from scratch. No templates and the like.
Jack will spray the car himself, I will be doing the liveries.
So keep your eyes on this thread.

Jack I hope you don't mind me sharing our progress.

Still got to do the green on the nose and get the reds a bit darker.

Nice work. I have just gotten into making my own detailed decals on my home printer. I appreciate all the work that goes into them!

kOzOoo1 - thank you. I have done a couple cars now. My greatest challenge is to get pictures in the correct colours. For the rest its just sizing the decals. I just love it.
Please share with us the process you use in designing your decals?
