Small Lettering
« on: October 01, 2012, 08:17:41 PM »
Wondering what is the best way to put on small lettering.  I have tried making decals using an ink jet printer but they fade pretty fast in the sun.  Small paint masks are a possibility, but for really small letters it has its drawbacks.  What are you guys using?

jfv,

You didn't say what size?

I can and do provide paint masks for lettering as small as .25 depending on the font or typeface.

My nitch is with larger scale R/C models, generally one of a kind graphics sets.

This link will take you to some of my work.

Dry transfers can work but must be cleared.
