Halfords laquer is what I use, I did used to have trouble with it crazing the decals slightly, but Dan found that using Halfords white plastic primer instead of the normal grey primer seems to cure the problem (so far) as long as there is no air under the decals.

This is the first metal kit that I have done and haven't really had any problems yet.

O.K. the kit is now finished and another pleasing result to complete my collection of works entered rally cars from the 1998 World Rally Championship (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V, Subaru Impreza, Ford Escort WRC, Toyota Corolla and now the Seat Cordoba). No major problems with the final assembly except in response to ales' earlier question, this time the laquer was not enough to protect the decals when masking for the window rubbers, on the first one I did part of the Seat logo on the side came off with the masking tape - ooops! Luckily I had a spare decal set so I just trimmed away the damaged decal and replaced it, you can't really tell at all, the rest of the rubbers were painted by hand!
Here's a couple of pic's, see what you think. Steve

Lovely work as usual, Steve, thumbs up!
Guess I won't be painting the rubber after the decals afterall  Sorry for your decal, but glad it came out well in the end. You just "happened" to have a spare decal set?

The kit that I bought was the 1999 Monte Carlo version so I could get the larger tarmac wheels plus it was the only one the guy had in at the time, I got Racing 43 to send me a decal set for the 1998 RAC rally which they did free of charge
, the colour scheme was pretty similar so I had a spare decal for the part that tore, thankfully.Steve

Looks superb! One annoying thing about the decals is that the white number squares are too thin - obviously not your fault! I had the same thing on my Maxi Megane, its worth investing in a white decal sheet for this and put a square in place before the kit decal.
Anyway top job, and by the way are u going the East Midlands model show on sunday?
