Great job. My new FW has wear on the front. Tell me how to make it spiffy.

Actually-I threw away the receipt and the packaging-but-I just googled to find them-ebay had many and there were many other sites. I paid around $18 for them. They were water-slide decals. After stripping, painting and applying decals, my husband applied several coats of clear coat also, to protect them.

That little machine is thanking you.
It looks wonderful.

Wouldn't be as rewarding if you had not gone this route. Now every time you look at it, you will think how much your DH LOVES YOU!! He did a beautiful job. Lucky you on both counts.
