Well, some much happier news after the decals and paint debacle… the monocoque and doors have been repainted, and the side pods and undertray have also been painted! New decals have been sourced and applied to all six of these pieces.
For the kit decals I had to remove, I ordered a replacement set of the relevant sheet of decals from Model Factory Hiro. They arrived in less than a week.
For the white dashed lines… well, the MFH line decals are out of stock everywhere (even MFH have none) and I don’t really trust them anyway. My solution for those has been to design my own custom decals, and have them printed by Dr Decal and Mr Hyde here in Australia. The decals printed well, although they are not as opaque as MFH’s. This was expected, as most white custom decal film I have used really needs two layers to give a good, opaque white over painted colour. I have enough line parts to make two full sets, so I did all the lines twice – one layer over the other.
So, pictures. First off, here is the painting stages of the side pods (RE4 and RE5) and undertray (RE7)
arts primed in grey primer, with white primer where the orange will be applied. 
Pure Orange basecoat and FLuro Orange applied. 
Green and once clear coat applied.
And finally, the body, doors, side pods and undertray with decals applied.
Next step is to paint the ‘interior’ sections of these parts (in black) and apply the carbon fiber decals.

Oh yes, it looks very good. Great that it worked with the zwriten. What type and manufacturer of CF are you using.
