RE: Adhesive vinyl overlays - WP31S, WP34S, newRPL variants now available!
One more update:

I went ahead with making an adhesive overlay with my old vinyl and a matte lamination sheet. Photo link is below. I already made some adjustments to improve the contrast of the color of the blue and orange to make them more visible against the gray background, but I am not sure I did enough. I think I may need to tweak the colors a bit more - maybe make the background darker? The matte finish of the lamination sheet makes it look lighter...

My printer just doesn't recreate the colors in the graphics provided by the C47 team, so tweaks are necessary to even get them close! Then that matte lamination sheet throws another wrinkle in...

I also include a side-by-side image of the installed C47 next to my 50g overlay, which has a true black background (RGB 0,0,0), while the C47 color is RGB 70,70,70.
