I am getting ready to paint my F/G tank with Metal Specks Blue. But I am wondering, I can just make out the outline of the old Norton logo on the side, and comparing it with the new decal I got from Old Britts, the original was taller and longer, height is hard to tell how much, width is about 1/2" longer and the N looks to be bigger. Also, I notice on the new decal, the gold outline is very thin, less than 1/16" , hardly visible. I remember the original had a definite visible gold outline, probably on the order of 3/16" or more. Is there anywhere I can get a better or more to my liking decal in Black with the gold outline? Or do I need to have someone paint it on or perhaps one made?
