viper stripes

with my 66 beetle, custom kit and all, i was thinking of a metalic silver paint with royal blue viper stripes. i was just wonderin whether it would be better to use decals for the stripes or to airbrush them on. im looking for a total shine finish so im guessing to use the airbrush. has anyone else done this before and have pictures??

Decals will work fine. Just bury them in a few coats of clear, then polish it, and they will look painted on.

Re: viper stripes

Pre assemble (no adhesive), test fit, sand mold lines, paint, assemble with cement.
