    My first attempt at painting some old vintage waterside decals on my Truck...Grabbed a mechanical pencil...Taped the picture to the side of the bed and did my best to duplicate the pictures...It was hard to see the pencil marks on the flat black......Not going to lie...it took me a while...

    High quality work! Lots of little details to fiddle with. I have a hard time reading my grocery list!
    Any plans to keep them pristine, or are the rocks and rubber going to add their own mark?

    If you work on a dark surface, you can use a soft white pencil, and it would be easier to see. White chalk works too. Nice job.

    The RC Industries artwork is too cool. Medina, OH is where I have stayed multiple times when I visited West Salem, OH. I even had dinner with @Bill's Auto Works at a Mexican joint there a year or two ago. :D
