oh yeah I forgot about printing whites/creams. I'd give it a crack and see how you go. If you don't have any luck could be worth seeing if Andyport can cut a vinyl logo with the cream ontop of the white

It might be an idea to spray a little clear after the white layer dries. Obviously it will take a couple more days, waiting for the clear to set, but then you don't have to worry about ruining the first layer with the second.

I think I have a trick to nail it. Get the wife to do it. She's incredibly crafty and stuff haha.
yer I'd do what Pablo suggested Andrew, put a clear coat after the white logo goes on so the decal doesn't lift/move when you apply the cream decal.
You got 3 goes to get it right !
If the 1st try fails then give it to the wife to try !

Sounds like a plan. Will put the white on tonight, clear in the morning then on my day off Thursday it'll be cream, then clears. Home stretch. Just emailed Adam about my second kit, hopefully order it soon. Who said 8 electrics is too many.
Looks great. good job getting it so straight.
No-one around here, that's for sure. Great looking decal, I would be tempted to just leave it white./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from andrew on July 22, 2014, 17:30

Oh no! The first decal snapped when I pulled it off the backing, now I wake up to this! What went wrong?
bummer Andrew, by the looks of the EX headstock there's still some moisture underneath has caused this. Did you wipe it clean before you applied the logo ?
I don't use decal logos anymore due the chance of the fogging up of the clear paper doing this.
Looks like you will have to remove it and try again.
Maybe next time wipe the moisture off underneath the backing paper before you apply it. Also make sure the headstock is clean and dry before you apply it. Also wipe off any moisture once the logo is in place. Looks like there are water droplets on the logo on the photo.
Took me quite a few goes to get applying them correctly
