Looks like you didn't have any problems with the Alps-printed decal. Did you use the white and yellow touch-up paints before applying clear coat? Assuming that you clear coated it...  What brands of paints and clear did you use?

I use those cheap Acrylic paints, thinned down with water. They were applied prior to any clear coat, and worked well with the Alps decals. To do this kind of work, you need the surface to be as smooth as possible and a steady hand of course. Also less is more  :)

Thanks!  What do you use for clear?

I ask because I like to gather info about what clear coats are compatible with Alps decals.

I haven't layed down any clear coat yet, waiting to a batch of things, but will let you know how it goes.
