Centuri Satellite 62SL Build Part 11 Decals Over Monokote Trim

A few chances were taken on this build, not knowing how it would turn out.
I wanted a chromed look but don't have an Alps printer that would print the chrome metallic ink.
It was worth trying a decal (with clear background) right over the chrome Trim Monokote already in place on the four fin version. The three fin version got the paper prints.

Here's how the decal overlay sheet turned out.
It includes the patterns for the chrome Monokote Trim and overlay decals.

I'll send the PDF right out.

After four coats of clear acrylic the decals were ready for soaking.

The decals only took 30 seconds in the water before easily sliding off the backing paper.

Here's how the decal wraps over the dowel and fin joint.
If the chrome trim was cut out correctly, you can match up the edges and be assured it'll line up on the other side.

And on the upper end, the body wrap applied directly over the chrome trim.

I was surprised how shiny the chrome stayed even with a clear decal over the top.
