Re: Dealing with problematic metal foil transfers
I think the issue w/the metal transfers on the DBS intake is that the transfers like to stick to a solid, glossy surface. The intake is flat white. Sort of the same issue as applying decals to a flat surface, they "silver" because there are small pockets of air. I built two DBS kits, the first I had no issue, the second I was fighting the lettering the whole time.
This is a good idea for applying those particular transfers. Otherwise, perhaps shoot the intake in gloss white, apply the transfers, then dullcoat, then carefully brush paint w/a tiny brush, some clear Future on the lettering to return them to shiny chrome.
