designs

Like everything else the times have changed, so you do not have to be the budding artist to apply a new design.
The adhesive fasons can be purchase from a graphic design company.

Some of the affects are great , like the British Airways livery change when i was at Southend and Stansted .

It starts off when completely applied like a large paint buy numbers.
peel off one desired part then remask when dry then proceed untill all the colours have been applied, then totally demask the fin then mask where needed and apply clear coat.

It wasnt untill the aircraft was waiting outside that the true affect of the design was fully appreciated

Or you can cheat a little where you get the design on the fason itself but be warned to put these on without getting air bubbles is a knightmare

Even the small BUBBLES SHOW UP LIKE A BLIND COBBLERS THUMB .

Ihope i can be of help with any questions
