Print wise the Roodecal sheet is a lot better.

Both Slotcarworld and Pattosplace seem to use a alps printer which does not give as clear a print. With Pattosplace (and probably slotcarworld) you just get the decal sheet without any instructions. Both seem to sell the same sheets.

The Pattosplace deals are ok, not great but useable. The register is not always perfect and they are a little opaque, although they do offer 'better' decals where the white is printed seperately from the other colors on a different sheet. The Roodecals are better quality but the ones I have also look a touch opaque. DMC made a nice set for the OXO sponsored red car that ran in the 87 Bathurst and also a set of the ANZ decals (see my sig for a built up of this).

Hi Roberto
I used the Pattosplace decals for mine, I found them quite good, reasonable registration but VERY thin and tear easily, I asked for a decal placemant diagram and he sent a JPEG drawing of a XR4i with really badly drawn pictures.
I also only ever remember Dicks car having 7 spoke gold rims, not the supplied kit ones.

Cool project though, good luck

sierrasaph, the team ran the first few years with the kit wheels before the team had the 7 spokes wheels made for them.
