    Tom do you make those decals yourself or can you buy them somewhere?

    Re: painting a fin demo (vafishing)

    I make the decals myself. I do the fin drawing in Adobe Illustrator and print out a few hundred at a time on clear decal paper. I got my paper from MicroMark, but their shipping cost is way too high, there are other places that have it. Just search water-slide decal paper. After printing, you shoot the whole sheet with acrylic clear (lightly) and then they are ready to use. I just put the line work on the decal and shoot the color on with a mask. I have had no trouble putting 2 part urethane clear over them, but you may want to experiment with other types of topcoat. For those of you using Createx and DN or D2T, I would spray acrylic clear over the decal-ed bait before topcoating.

    Decal paper or water slide also works great for logos or signatures
