Re: ~Blue X~ actual progress!

Postby Skipton on Wed Jul 28, 2010 1:00 am

I got these 3" vinyl stickers at WalMart for .60 cents
Image
This will be the "X" part of "Blue-X"
I cut these two out....FYI Boat Registration Numbers come with out back ground but this will work just fine
Image
The plan is that after paint peel off sticker and have a bare metal X
Image
Image
As you can see in the pic. I cut it a little big, I will put a outline around when done :wink:
Thanks for looking

The way the tanks are mounted you can see a lot of the inside of them.
So to keep the ugly rusty overspray side from catching your eye I put some black paint on
