    I use Paint Shop Pro to design my decals. If you want white or any light color in the decal you have to use white decal paper. This does not allow the background to show through, requiring some trimming if necessary.

    Black and dark colors you can use clear that also lets the background show through.

    Billj,
    You should create your design in AutoCAD before printing your decals. This makes it much easier to control scale, proportions, and alignment.

    How about customizing or making your own original decals?

    These are the products I use to make my decals.

    1. Before using the decal paper, always run a test print on regular paper to check size, alignment, and any adjustments until youโ€™re satisfied.

    2. Once everything looks right, print the final version on the decal paper.

    3. After printing, apply three to four light coats of Krylon Crystal Clear, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

    This seals the ink and prevents it from running when the decal is applied.

    I'm currently rebuilding a Matchbox/Revell corvette, cannibalising a damaged one for parts.What I don't have is a set of pennant numbers. Can any member sell me a set or tell me where I might get them?
