Most racing sanctioning bodies require that the cars on track have the fire extinguisher and the tow hooks clearly labeled.
I could simply have ordered some decals up to add to the car, but since it was a long weekend I thought I would paint them on. Painted lettering on a racecar always classes it up a bit.
So, I made the decals in photoshop, the less scrupulous could simply print them out, and then cut out the stencils.
For the E, it was a simple one-piece stencil.
For the tow arrows I made a background stencil in the shape of the arrow(black part), then a stencil for the word 'tow'.
Simple. I used paint I had on hand or this would have been foolish to purchase paint for this.
For a tacky glue, I used Elmer's spray adhesive as it is easily cleaned off but did a good enough job to stick down the paper.
A couple of the lettering edges are not perfectly straight, but, that is what makes the proper.
