I can add to decaling on a semi-gloss surface. If you get silvering, the gloss will not make that go away. It's caused by air trapped behind the decals. Using a hairdryer will also help making the decals conform to curves and in tricky spots. Just be careful not to melt the plastic. MicroSol/Set are also a must for these types of decals.

Your final outcome looks great though... top notch job!

Re: Wip 3 Merc Benz DTM D2;Telle;Warsteiner

Ok interior update... Damn detailing is really hard to do... I wish i could produce really beautiful interior like the many experienced modellers out there
Wiring done , CF done and half the seatbelts are made...
The CF are cut out to shape... the two "X"s are the spots the two "boxes" are located so as to let it be opened when applying the CF

After CF is applied... Process is applying decal softer then drying under hairdryer first with hot air then blowing cool air till its cooled then repeat from decal softer until i got this result

Applied CF on the Switch Box
This is after a few rounds of the process described above

After multiple runs finally some good results..

Touch ups done then followed by wiring...
Mr Model wiring


Seatbelt PE by tamiya

This is what the interior is now... More CF will be applied soon

STAY TUNED
And BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO FEEDBACK
