Scored a Cobra Rat off of eBay not too long ago. It was a little dirty so I gave it a little repaint. Sure wish Cobrastickers.com had the decals. Let me know what you guys think.

That actually looks about a 1,000 times better, damn! Great work! Looks like something Darklon would sell.

I don't see any decals for the Rat on Cobrastickers.com. Anyone got any decals only for this thing?

It's difficult to polish a Turd... And you've made a valiant effort.
Not trying to knock your work...No amount of paint can hide that Lame-factory... It's just hard to get past it looking like my hand sander... It just doesn't look like the hovercraft it's supposed to be...and there's not much beyond Major surgery than can be done to help it. |

If you carefully remove the stickers and save them you can scrape off the old adhesive off the back. Then apply new adhesive by using a two-sided tape dispenser (these look just like the White-out dispensers that lay down a strip of white, but instead they lay down adhesive). I have done this many times on customs and it works great.
