I did them on the computer like you andy, but cut them on the plotter in "cast vinyl" basically its a soft slightly stretchy vinyl, rated outdoors for 10 years!!! so best not to leave it on too long (24 hours it was on).
it gives absolutely perfect lines.

That custom colour NEON orange i used on the ZX5 was the worst paint i have ever used in my life..
It came out like dust, and stuck like teflon.
I should really take the shell into the shop and demand my money back, its that bad.

best can spray ive used is the pactra stuff, it REALLY eats into the shell, nothing will take that stuff off..

I bought a new iwata airbrush tonight, so, might do my own shell in future.. i dont really have the time to be honest but one day i might work up the courage.
