Decals finished tonight. Pleased with the result - the gold goes perfectly with the brown and the splashes of blue add something too (I sound like I imagine my parents did when they finished painting their front room in the '70s):
All went on ok, although undecided about the head and seat tube yet. Original decal detail I can find by looking up old Grand Jubilees suggests a head badge design I don't have in sticky form, so I might hold out for a metal one. Seat tube appears to need a sticker similar to the silver one in the pack above, but it looks big on the frame so needs some thought too.
Some of the old frames I found have bands on the seat tube - not supplied but I have some left over from a Raleigh set I may be able to use if the gold is a close enough match. Learned at cost on previous builds not to rush these things so going to live with it for a while first, make the decision once it's built up.
