Your graffiti technique looks pretty good.  That being said, the form of graffiti you have is more of a "modern" problem.  While graffiti has existed for quite some time, the colorful "tagging" really started in the 80's IIRC.  The Northern Pacific and New York Central cars probably would have been retired/repainted into BN and Conrail respectively long before they got tagged.  Just my My 2 cents [2c]

it is pretty sympol i use a nice sized peice of blank sticker sheet and i print graffiti from the computer or i hand draw it on, i use to do graffiti as a kid so, it comes natural to me. but you must watch if you get a boxcar or any other type of car that has a bumby side yo must push down hard. i also make my own decals,

 it saves me money.

Nice, how did you make them ?  I just bought some commercial graffiti decals but I haven't applied them yet.
