| heywooood | 06-Feb-25 20:06 | | decals are from Callie Graphics |
| BriandKilby | 11-Feb-25 08:31 | | Very unique heywood, you use a gloss coat and works out ok, on the decals? I’ve tried satin as a final coat and it tends to fog the decals on parts of clear decals.so I put the decals on last. |
| heywooood | 11-Feb-25 10:50 | | What I have learned is that decals are best applied over gloss paint, so if the aircraft is painted in matte finish -like a camouflage scheme - I give the model a gloss clear coat, let it dry for a day, then apply the decals, then return with a matte or semi-gloss top coat. Applying most water transfer decals over a matte finish can lead to problems where the decals ‘silver’ or lack proper adhesion to your model. Even with these dry transfer style decals from Callie I wouldn’t try to use them on a matte or rough surface. |
| BriandKilby | 11-Feb-25 16:24 | | Thanks heywood, do you use that Imgur site? I don’t know if I want to get into a social site to edite pictures. What do you think? Brian. |
| heywooood | 11-Feb-25 17:04 | | you don't have to participate in any of that social media stuff they do - just upload and download your pictures, resize, edit, crop - whatever you usually do. And it's free and private unless you want to share them. I use Imgur for all of this stuff ever since photobucket went to payware |
