Nice! There was one down in Victoria BC done like that a bunch of years ago. I pondered doing it with mine but I have decided on a colour change.
I was also thinking about decals lifting especially in the gutters Malsal. That's the main reason I lean towards paint
I appreciate all the input folks!

I like the wavy checkers Abel, reminds me of the Hot Wheels Mini! Thanks! I actually mocked it up in electricians tape at about 6 inches and thought the scale was about right. B

I did one years ago with about 8 inch square ones that i did not have to work the corners and curves with. I would stay out of the gutters as they lift after a while and look tatty no matter how much you prep them.

why not use vinyl checkers and you can move them around.

Thinking of painting checkers on the roof (classic Mini) I prefer paint over decal, but I like the size of the decal squares can anyone get me a measurement of an individual square?
Cheers!
