My tank started to leak, so bought a new one. A friend who resorts classic cars said he would paint it for me. Its in Roberts colours. Bought a set of graphic on self adhesive vinyl off flee-bay. He painted the base coat and left me to fit the decals. Just cant get them on right, due to the contours in the tank. Is there a better set available or is there a method to putting them on?

Yes your right its just were the knee bit of the tank is. Ordered some more stickers today . May try the water trick, or more likely give it to someone else to do. Just want it back on the road
