Hey Pete: Done that on the Cherokee. Works good. Around rivets you will need to take a pin and make a small hole, the rub the air out with a tooth brush. However, I now have also learn that our friends at the FAA will ground you on a ramp check for this. Seem that they believe that a transfer type N number will be easy to remove when the airplane is stolen. Of course white paint can also cover up a N number, go figure. Jack
