I've never tried my hand at painting locomotives. How would a person go about painting an F-unit or E-unit with the typical EMD factory designed striping? I want something similar to Atlantic Coast Line or Southern Railway....just the familiar striping patterns that we all think of when we think of cab unit diesels. Does anyone make a template (specifically for N scale) with pre made designs that can aid an unsteady hand? I don't think I could do a good even masking job without some kind of stencil or something. Not that I'm too lazy to mask and such, just don't think I could get a satisfactory result. I hope this makes sense.
Forgive my ignorance if this is something I should already know about lol.

Look for Decals of stripes. With care you can get them to go on straight.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
