How did you do the white decals? Black border on white paper?

Bingo. Unfortunately, the black ink fades a little to a purplish (A laser printer would be better). I cut the decal close to the letters, and after it is applied, I hide the seam with black paint. Basically, I take a very fine brush and paint as close to the letters as possible. After a little weathering, it looks good enough to me.
