I know what you mean about the sticker look. Try MicroSol, you won't be disappointed. They also make something called MicroSet, which is supposed to help adhere decals to the surface, I don't think it's required for use with 'Sol, but it might help prevent decal curling. Not too sure.

It's basically a coat of pearl white, with a few areas painted (mainly on the warp nacelles, the deflector dish and a few blue panels on the lower saucer), then decals for everything else. The decals weren't a perfect fit, if you look at Image 5, you can see the decals at the saucer/neck join are misaligned, in order to try and get the port holes to line up. The tops of the nacelles were probably the biggest pain as the decals were one piece, trying to wrap around a stepped upper surface. Thought I'd mess them up but after much trimming and microsol they look pretty good.

Such a beautiful ship, I'm glad they kept so much of the design in the new movie Enterprise.
