Pinkduster, FWIW, I know very little about how to make decals or the art process involved in duplicating them.

These decals are a multi-layer material with a sticky foil type backing that has a REAL firm grip, they delaminate and curl badly when removed. I haven't been able to remove one without ruining it which is why I sent Dave my entire carb with the best set of decals so he could do a good job. On the originals The red color does have allot of what appears to be "ink bleed" around the edges, maybe from the laminating process originally used?
