Here's a couple photos of my Fothergill after I repainted it this winter. The paint is a mix of Rustoleum, mostly blue with almond and red added, applied with a brush. Home made waterslide decals, printed mirror image on a laser printer with gold and color added to the back of the decal with a gold paint pen (I don't remember the brand) and white added with a Sharpie paint pen. The laser printer did the red on the decal, but I went over it with the Sharpie red paint pen to ensure opacity. Applied the decals backwards, then added the box lining with red and white Sharpie paint pens. So far so good! Then I clear coated over the whole thing, resulting in some running of the red Sharpie; that was dumb. But I'm not doing it over.
