TS80 flat clear. Under or over stickers?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

New build kit on the way, and I want a Matt finish. Can you spray ts80 over the paint and stickers? If not, do stickers adhere ok to a Matt finish?

Thanks

Ben

Either would be ok I believe. Depends whether you want the stickers to have a Matt finish or not. If you put the stickers on over Matt I would suggest water and washing up liquid to help position them followed by a hair drier.

The stickers will "silver" on the clear edges if they are applied over a matte finish. I'd apply them over the gloss color coat, then apply flat clear over them. Of course, very light on the first few coats. Clearing over them will also improve their durability.

Does anybody know why that silvering Sometimes happens? It only seems to happen on matt finishes?

The matte finish is slightly rough, and the silvering is air trapped under the sticker or decal.
