I think black rendered well on your camera. Lovely!

Painting Tins. No really...

Verrrrry snazz Jim!
I'm so used to shooting polyurethanes that I forgot how long Centari takes to cure up... like watching paint dry. 
Anyway... Got the decals on. I'm always a little nervous when working with decals I've never used before. These went pretty smooth though. Looking straight at 'em, they look to sit a little low on the covers. I've measured 'em a half dozen times now and they're centered near as I can tell.... for an irregular shape anyway.
Now they have to sit for 24-28 hrs for the glue to set before I can clear 'em.
Must resist the urge to make 'em pretty again.

Looking good !
Damn fine work Jim!
Beautiful! Looks nicer than new!
Long as you don't look on the inside....
I suspected that, I had looked at some of their decals. How's the quality? Probably going to be ordering the decals for the wife's CJ360T from them (for @Jim to apply and cover as well
)
Based upon the photo of the completed product..... What choice do you have?
I will say that they came packaged in such a way that they wouldn't get damaged.
Quality of the decals is excellent. I think they're made from a little thicker stock that the originals... but yeah, good products.
One of my irritants is sandpaper. Rather... my storage system... or lack thereof. It's all stacked on top of each other and I never know I'm out of a certain grit until I go to use it. So I'll go buy more only to discover I actually had an unopened packet all along sitting on a different shelf. 
So.... labeled some manila folders, taped 'em all together in a binder type affair and here we are.... all my paper organized and in one place instead of 30.
Sometimes it really is just the little things in life.

That’s a great idea for your sandpaper, I know I keep mine all stacked up on a shelf.

I use something similar for my paper I keep in my truck for work.
Nice and compact. Will take a beating and keeps your paper flat and clean.
I think I’m 5 years into this one. Gets used everyday.
