Northern_Ben 27 Posted April 2, 2020 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Busdriver 6209 Posted April 3, 2020 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Jon 684 Posted April 4, 2020 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted April 5, 2020 Does anybody know why that silvering Sometimes happens? It only seems to happen on matt finishes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The matte finish is slightly rough, and the silvering is air trapped under the sticker or decal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
