Re: Decal Question
Yes.
For some decals, like those for instrument faces its the only way to get them to fit.

Re: Decal Question
Sure do, otherwise the clear carrier film will be visible.

Re: Decal Question
No, chrome silver is the basic colour. On top of that you have GLOSS, which is smooth and shiny through to MATT which is roughter and non reflective. SATIN fits in somewhere in the middle. Chrome sliver could be any of the three.

Re: Decal Question
Here are a couple of questions that I've been too embarassed to ask for 18months now.
When you trim the decal to remove the excess carrier, how do you do this? Scalpel, scissors? After all, ashboard dials are soo small! Also, do you cut ALL the way through the backing paper or is it enough to just "score" the carrier film enough to seperate the excess from the main decal? Thanks.

Re: Decal Question
I cut through the paper backer and all. If you just score it, sometimes excess carrier film will stick to the decal and end up places you dont want them. oh i use a scalpel aka x-acto knife, but a nice new fresh one, and always cut on a cutting matt for good clean fun
