Question about decals

Recommended Posts

Hi fellow tc members

I have a question about decals as i have a project on the go were i am going to use some decals but i need to laquer the body ( its a hard body if this makes any difference ) so the question i have is what do you all do with your decals do you put them on & laquer over the top, can you laquer over them without shrivel or do you just put them on.

One final thing do i have to use tamiya clear or will any acrylic clear coat do.

Thanks Rich

I prefer to clear coat over the top and haven't ever had a problem. The clear helps seal the edges and makes it all the same gloss.

Thanks Daves956 much appreciated will give it a go, i just wasn't sure if anything would happen if i cleared over the decals.

As long as it is gloss lacquer. I noticed on the lid of the semi-clear and matte it says not to use over decals. Can't imagine why you wouldn't be using gloss anyway but worth a mention!

On my motorcycle rider I dull coated over the decals so it looks like leathers instead of glossy paint. It worked just fine
