Hey LL need to check your PM.
I discovered a real Kool way to make your own Decals. You can order Water Slide Paper for your Ink Jet Printer on eBay for about $1.00 a sheet (8.5x11)
You then print out what ever design you want. You then use Clear Acrylic Spray and give it 5-6 light coats until it gets glossy. The stuff dries quickly so you can do this in about 2 hours. A hair dryer speeds it up too!!! I let mine cure over night. Then cut out the shape leaving about a 1/8 to 1/16" border and place it face down in a pan of cool water for 60 secs till the backing paper absorbs some water. You can then slide the clear decal right off and use a foam brush to brush it on your desired surface and remove any air bubbles. It's quick easy and works GREAT. 3-4 more coats of Clear and it's permanently in place. I used Rustoleum High Gloss Acrylic Clear.
