REFLECTOR: Painting

[Jorge Bujanda]

Has anyone tried to clear-coat them?  Just a thought.

When Cessna started to build single engine planes again they used stickers with very bad
results. Many had to be replaced over and over again.

I was wondering what the collective thought of this group was on the use of decals instead
of a painted design on the airplane.  I was talking to a RV builder the other day and he
suggested them as a cheaper alternative to painting on a design over the white paint.
Easy to repair also.  He also mentioned that it was very popular in the RV community.  I
can't get over the feeling the it just doesn't seem right to use decals.  Sounds kind of
cheesy to me.  The Velocity is as gourgous as a beautifully restored hot rod.  You
certainly won't put decals on a hot rod.  Thoughts from the group??
