Nice SL-1700 to fix....

I've been wracking my brain and I can't think of the name of a product that's basically blank decal material. You do up a graphic with something like Photo Shop and then print it onto the decal sheet, trim, soak, apply and clear over it.

Ah! "Water Slide"! Probably at any big hobby or crafts store.

Oooh I can contribute here!! I use those for headstock decals on my guitar builds. Its called Testor's Decal Paper, P/N 9201

You print out your decal, spray clear laquer over it (while still on the paper) let it dry, cut it out soak in water and apply just like on Plastic models we used to make as kids.. Works great!

Here's a rough go at your graphics. I haven't got quite the correct font on the machine but it's close.

WOW! that is perfect in my book!!:thmbsp:

I was just working on the cueing, I think the oil I bought is still too light weight.:scratch2:

Thanks,

Waiting for the Cuing fluid to get here. I want all mechanicals done before the cosmetics. Also need to discuss feet? Also have to find the spray paint.

Thanks,
