Make & apply decals: With an ink jet printer it's
possible to print decals onto paper made specially for this purpose. To
protect colors from nitro fuel, clear coat the printed surface with a product
such as Tamiya Clear TS 13. To achieve a realistic appearance the
decal should be applied to the inside surface of the Lexan part (such as bike
fairing). Before applying the decal, 'back' the decal with fuel proof
white paint, then glue the decal to the inside surface of the Lexan part using
'XXX Main Glue For Lexan', or a similar product. Paint the inside surface
of the Lexan part in the desired color. Result is fuel proof and realistic
looking. (Source: calimero sf501 & scaulfi).
