They put them on Race Cars and on the jets they don't come off If you only knew how much of a passenger plane was glued together as opposed to riveted you might not fly. I think they also weigh less then the paint it would take to cover the area. |

Decals are indeed used on jets, I know from personal experience. They're
damn good ones too - you better make double dog sure you got it aligned right with no wrinkles before you start stickinner on!! No second chances - damn things are expensive. We use an edge sealer to keep them from trying to peel over time.... Alan "Daryl Bryant" wrote in message ...
