Tom, I asked this question over in the photo gallery - "What are we seeing here - applied decals or are the letters the base silver coat under the blue?

Very nice!

Neither. That is all paint. First base coat is a light grey, then a white pearl. Next, I applied a letter stencil and shot white, pearl, candy light teal before pulling the stencils. That paint job was a bear. It looked pretty simple, but it took a huge amount of time. We only have printed decals in a few colors. For the rest, we have to do custom work. Last time I saw it, it still looked great.
