Thanks mate, that is super useful information. Looking at the complexity of the curves, body lines and rear spoiler, I am not sure I am even going to use the main red and blue sections of the RooDecals. I am also not convinced the blue is the correct shade, as it is very dark, and there is definitely some blue and a 'Nissan' missing for the very rear of the car. Those strips on the back edge of the red and leading edge of the blue will be fun to mask and paint though!
I am quite certain the RooDecals are printed on clear backing so rely on the car being white for the background of, for example, the 'Nissan' on the sides and number on the bonnet. The number I can mask for white then cut out the number, but the 'Nissan' will have to rely on various white examples I have in my decal parts bin. May not be 100% the correct size, but good enough for this homage.
Might look at some Pattos Place backups just in case. Thanks for the tip.
Grant.
