Where are you getting your decals from? Are you making your own. I saw a tutorial on how to do that and was wondering how they hold up. I'd love to customize my cub a bit. I don't like having a plane that looks like everyone else's, but I don't want to completely paint it and jack it up either. There are some great looking designs on this forum.
So...Has anyone painted their cub using a certain technique and is now regreting it...and why? Thanks!

The only decals are the silver pinstripes on the edges and the carbon fibre look on the cowl and the little spektrum ones.everything else is me masking and being creative with a couple red and black Sharpie markers. Before this I had alot of automotive grafixx from Canadian tire ( or similar auto shop). If you want something more personal your local sign shop would probably print you off a sheet of decals to your size and specs for a resonable price. Or there is printer sticker paper. Find the pic you want, print it, cut it, throw some packing tape over and you got your decal.Hope this helps you. As for a regretable paint job....there are lots of post in this section....lots of advice.

Thanks alot man! I didn't really keep track, but in total..... I'm thinking around 5 hrs. Not including drying time for the paint on the prop.
