I thought you would like to see some of my creations. Attached are three Hooper cars I lettered for the ARR. Below is the data for these cars.

I still have to shoot them with dull coat to take the shine of the decals, though
the flash from my camera highlights that more then it really is. I removed the
NRLX ink from the Athearn cars by scraping, then wiping the area with alcohol.
It was easier then I thought and any scuffing of the base coat was covered by
the ARR decal. The Accurail car was much easier. I just had to add the decals.
The job was so easy in fact that I have already ordered two more Accurail cars.
