Quoted from mark532011:

I don't have any trouble cutting replacement plastics. My issue is that the image looks kind of washed out when I use waterslide decals. Has anyone experimented with using translucent paints or perhaps silkscreen?
Here is a pic of my Flash with a replacement graphic. Its not too bad when the lights are off but when they are on you can see the black is not nearly as black as the original. I was thinking of something like silkscreening or painting the black layer on, then using a decal but the difficulties in lining them up perfectly seems like it would cause a problem.

Printer I bet.

I have a Dell laser at home but do my serious printing at work. We have a 30k network copier/printer that lays down SERIOUS black prints, makes my Dell printer look like a $50 inkjet from Walmart.
