    Chuck,
    I took the liberty of creating an Image Shack account just to see if I can help you and others post better pics that others can appreciate more. You do such nice work, it would be a shame not to share the best images possible. Hope this helps.

    See Video below. This is one way to get full size images to post on the forum.
    It is also possible to put multiple images in one post. Just RETURN after you insert each image, RETURN TWICE to create some white space separation between images and do it again with another image before you click Post Reply. Imgur and Flickr make posting pictures easier by giving you a link to the BBCode. I found no way to get this code on Image Shack. With the BBCode, you don't need to use the toolbar image button on the forum, you just copy the BBCode and paste it into your post. I have a post linked in my signature if you're interested in using one of those free image hosting sites instead of Image Shack. Looks to me like my Image Shack account is only a free trial and they will want to charge me after the trial is up. That's not going to happen.

                  Taped off the blue area along the factory seam lines and shot etching primer. I will peel off the tape and lay tape on the blue area and prime the white area. So what we have here is the blue area primed and tape removed. It will sit overnight and the white area gets primer tomorrow.

                        So now i have sanded the ridges left from the dark primer and masked the blue dividing line off. Shot the white area with grey primer. Why 2 primers your gonna ask. The intent is to preserve the exact factory boundaries so when i do colors they are pretty close to the centerline of the decals just like it was new, This gives me a good witness line to follow. Dark primer area gets blue and grey area gets white, Then simply sand the paint lines and apply decals.
                        A bit more tedious than just shooting and hoping you get the paint layed out right. By doing it this way theres no doubt about it..in my thought process anyway. I may be crazy but i am good at it..HA HA

                                Fr9Alq.jpg So now to let it dry a few days then sand it smooth. Then mask off down the center of the tape marks and do colors. NOW you can see why i used two differing primer colors... so i have witness lines to lay it out for paint. As the pics show what ive done is taken any guess work out of it. Maybe ive over thought it but it is what i came up with to get proper location of decals
