Question Applying decals to DW All White Series 1:400

Does anyone know how you're supposed to apply decals to the Dragon Wing White Series planes? I have an A321 and want to give it an Air Auba livery which has two blue stripes along the fuselage, one of which is over the windows.

The model comes with the windows and doors printed on it, but I think the blue will be a little too dark for the windows to show through to the point where they'll be visible. Has anyone encountered and overcome this or is the only solution to paint over the windows they have and add them to my decals when I create them? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Try using the search function, this has been discussed dozens of times.

In short: If you're about to do create your own artwork, you should take your time and also create artwork for windows and doors. Applying a cheatline over existing window/door detail never looks any good.
