I may have to fit my decals on myself eeek....

I got the posh raised ones this time.
I have a one shot go with them.

Is there any good ref points to go by?
These are not the float on decals ..

The last time I put non float type decals on I lined them up and taped one edge of the backing to the tank then folded WIt back removed the backing from the adhesive side and smoothed them on. Took a bit of time but worked ok and they ended up in the right place.

You have to look from the rear as you will be seeing them all the time frome there. You will hate yourself if ones forwar more etc. The side is still important but as other advice tape them and use tape guides for positioning.

Measure 3 times and then another 3 times before applying.

It's the 3d solid raised ones at cough cough price each that's why I am scared!
