PAPER. What do I need to get to print my own decals for vehicles? I have the sheet set up but cannot find decal paper. Went to hobby store, staples and office max. Please help.

I'm not sure but some post offices (or at least the one here) have some different kinds of it, for like if you print your own return address stickers. Worth a try if you tried every where else.

I think this is what you may be looking for Clear Self-Adhesive Vinyl
I found this a little while ago for a project I was planning, haven't gotten around to trying it yet though. |

I just picked up some Testors clear decal waterslide paper, however, the cobra logos I printed out in red are not solid enough to see on dark colors. They make it in white, but that defeats the purpose I was going for.

The trick is to print in a lighter shade of red then you intend. The darker color behind will darken up the red. I actually printed my Cobra logos for the Baroness' armor in a very light reddish/pink. (Oh, and make sure you let them dry first and then seal them with some kind of spray sealer. I learned the hard way.)
If you plan to use the clear waterslide paper on white, the reverse is true. |
