Can you say more about your 'homemade' decals?

They are printed on Testors white decal paper using an ink jet printer (an old HP printer that is on it's last legs). The conoco logo was drawn using simple shapes in powerpoint. For the CONX label, I used a stencil font that I downloaded free online. I drew a black background box in powerpoint, then a text box above the black background with white font color. I sealed the decals with 3 light coats of testors decal bonder spray. I then cut out and applied the decals as usual. The conoco logo required special cutting in order to leave the white border. the black background of the decal doesn't exactly match the black paint of the tank, and a thin white edge shows where the decal was cut. To help remedy this, I carefully painted the decal edge black after it was installed on the car.
