    Here's an example of how good Andy's decals look:



    Andy did a great job, if it's positioned wrong or not quite the right size, then blame that on me. I think Andy did a GREAT job! If anybody needs a good replacement decal, then Andy is da man!!! :

    :
    Not too bad, 'course I screwed up the first one. So, this is the second attempt. I let the first one curl up by pulling off instead of sliding it directly off the backing onto the head. It was fairly easy though.

    I put a couple of coats of clear on the head first, using a 0000 grade steel wool to smooth it out between coats and before I applied the decal. I then put 3 light coats of clear on top of the decal, again lightly smoothing it with the steel wool after each clear coat. This also helped to blend in the decal area with the original finish. Overall, I'm pleased! Good work Andy! :
