I finally decided to give my beat up Daytona a coat of clear and some decals. Based on the white G3 Racing Aqua-Mania C5000R, with some Fightercat decals.
Not too bad for inkjet printer decals.

This is my first real rc anything and first build. I didn't want to invest too much effort in a paint job until I knew I wouldn't wreck it or burn it down.
My windshield is just spray paint.
I'm running a Fighter Cat (Suppo) 3740 1760kV outrunner on 4, 5, and 6S. Carbon/kevlar inlay. Nothing fancy, no carbon covers - only hoping for functional.
I'll post an inside pic soon if I have a decent one.

Thanks Dana! I used Papilio Inkjet Clear Waterslide Decal Paper (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005D5I018/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00). Don't know if that's the best price. Seems pricey for 5 sheets of paper, but not bad if you think of it as 5 sheets of custom decals. :thumbup:
(Edit: I assume you were asking about the paper and not the graphics. BTW: This was two sheets worth and there was quite a bit extra. I included some hatch and turbine vent decals, but the graphic was low resolution and I didn't use them.)

Ok, so the last photo is a little "enhanced." It wasn't that fast.
