I want to put Elise on th side of my Compac 16 and need suggestion on size of letters and where on the hull. Any suggestions? Mark

A 6" capital letter "E" would seem proportional to my eye.  My 16, Hussie II is within those constraints, but it may be a minimum if you really want to make a statement.

I went with 3" for my CP 19. I was after a more subtle look! Here's how it looks. In case you are interested, the sheer stripe is 1/4" gold foil, with a half-arrow that I made from 1/2" foil and a razor blade. The lower gold stripe just above the cream boot stripe is 1/2" gold foil. Just fyi, to give you some visual reference.
