It is troublesome to paint it and the effect is poor. I use decal to creat the dark blue patterns. There is a kind a blank decal which is B5 size and able to print by laser printer. I just cut out a piece of it and directly spray Tamiya Dark Blue oil on it. After the oil dried,I just ramdomly cut it into tiger patterns and paste on the car. Owing to that kind of decal is relatively thicker than tamiya or other mass porduced decals.It is suggested to use decal softer especially on the 'fault line'. This method is worth trying and cost less than hand paint.The only problem is what you have stated that its raised above orange,it looks like stickers if I didn't sprayed enough clear on it. Anyway,It is still better for mask and paint method,at least, for some lazy people like me.

The brand of the blank decal is Modeler's,a Japan producer, and cost around $5 USD containing 2 B5 size blank sheets.
