    can you please take a photo of the decals you are applying Andrew ?
    when you apply them you just need to line them up best you can by eye, unless someone has a better idea

    Sorry about the scrappy photo. The white ones go down first then the cream over the top.

    so are these going on the headstock Andrew ?
    So you putting down the white Walkertone on, then the cream goes directly ontop to give a 3D effect ?
    Are they vinyl logos ?
    Might have been easier to try get the 2 colours in the 1 logo, that will be a mission to line them up perfectly and you only got 3 goes !

    Carefully! Lol. Good thing you got some spares dude. I hate those things.

    They are water slides. I didn't know til after I paid the guy that they came in 2 parts. His instructions were to put the white down, let it set then put the cream over the top caus its translucent and will disappear over the black. Kind of scared. If it goes wrong I guess I can just stick with the white but had my heart set on a retro cream logo... On a silver burst explorer. Thought it'd look kind of different.

    ok I've never put a water slide ontop of another. This will be much easier than lining up vinyl logos you only get one chance. Lightly spray the underside of the 2nd decal with water and you should be able to move it in place before it sets. Might be worth getting some advice from Andyport regarding a waterslide ontop of another.
    You can buy blank waterslide paper and print your own logos if you can come up with the logo merged into one would be much easier

    Feeling a bit more relieved now. Only drama is that the logo is such a light cream colour that it'd be hard on a domestic printer that doesn't print white.
