Here you can see how we create what I call ghost graphics, These will be very subtle and you have to look very close to see them when painted. I like to think of them as a little bonus for the one or two guys that actually look close enough to find them.

I cut the name of the plane "AUSTRAL" on my plotter and applied the positives (the letters) to the band that will be painted yellow. I also added one on each wing tip. These are applied over a white base and we then shoot the yellow right over the top of them.
