Test print the decal on cheap paper until you have the image the correct size and print it on decal paper.
Tell the guy at the body shop to come over and show you how it's done; he's full of theoretical knowledge (more commonly referred to as hot air). If only it were that simple. Hey -- take a whack at it though; that's how I started. If it quits being fun, go check out www.velographicdecals.com, and drop me an e-mail.
