The plan to use white waterside inkjet paper to create the pin striping and arrow edging on the car did not work.
The waterside tended to fold and crease when cut thinly enough to create the right effect.
The white waterside also allowed the dark base colours to show through
What do do?
Sharpie can melt and run in the laquer process.
White insulation tape was used, cut with a sharp blade , not scissors to get the straight edge.
The tape shines bright and resisted the laquer well.
The waterside racing numbers crinkled slightly under the laquer. Some do, some don't and I've never figured out why.
I should have lacquered the decals before water dipping.
Next, crystalwork and side sills.

The shutline on the bonnet and lift-lights was done by running a pencil into the gaps prior to spray work.
