would any sticker/decal paper work or does it need to say waterslide?

| Re: Cheap and easy way to do your own custom graphics at home - LOOK! I have experimented with clear "sticker" labels. Yes it will work. Very difficult to work with though. You cant move the decal after you apply it and air bubbles can be a real problem. The waterslide stuff is the best method I have found for doing this stuff on your own at home. Sticker labels will not work with the water technique.

Just watched your video, graphics look Awesome and great job on the explanation of the whole process. I'm sure the learning curve in the beginning was a little tricky. I may give this a try this winter and I'll make sure to have a few sheets of the water slide paper on hand as I'm sure the first couple try's won't be perfect. |

Application of the decals is the easy part. It's the design and editing that takes time. That learning curve is smaller than you think. Good luck bro. JP | |

Very cool ! Thanks for the vid jcperea69. I did water slide ink jet paper decals on my last body , but I put them on the outside and used clear packing tape over them. It turned out ok and it seems to be holding up ok..... but your way is much better. I think a redo is in my future. |

Man that looks awesome finished, for some reason I always dread the paint side of things I have 2 bodies that I need to paint but for some reason I'm so afraid to mess us that I end up not painting them...

| Re: Cheap and easy way to do your own custom graphics at home - LOOK! nothing to it but to do it. Get some cheap bodies and give it a shot. If you take your time and do multiple light coats you will be good to go |
