I have a customer/buddy who wants his old Airborne Unit decal applied to his rod that I am building. I have a print of the image that I can reduce to the proper size. I have read many of the posts regarding decals, but I'm still not sure how to proceed. Can someone direct me to an article on how to do this ,Start to Finish ? Thanks.

Not sure of the unit. The insignia is a blue patch with white wings and red sword with "AIRBOURNE" over the top.

I print Decals on waterslide paper with my inkjet printer, any decals with a white background I'll use the white waterslide to show the white.
