Fantastic colour and paint job, Gio!!

I have a general question. Do you use wax? Can you apply decals after wax? Wil they stick?

Thanks Chris, I'm working on white "muscle car" decals but I?m not happy to th result, I redone the cutting work dozen of times, maybe I need to spray white too.

Someone ask that also in a ITA forum: for me is the standard feature, also maybe I haven't troubles with TS13 becouse I protect decals and underlayers with wax (Tamy) hoping well also this time!

Now I'm confused

You're taking a chance painting over wax. Wax has additives that repel just about anything.

Compounds are used to smoothen out a finish and after washing them completely, you shouldn't have any problems painting afterwards.

I know, I can't say anything other than I've been great results making that and I don't see any typical TS bugs: just add layers carefully. But I don't want to force anyone to this "stupid" (yes first time with the calsonic nismo I do it for wrong and I had succesful) tip: it could remain my secret

And if you try and get worst don search me: I have gold hand on that and only other few stuff

I would have thought so, too!! But decals over wax no problem, huh?

Dear friends I'm supid: obviously I wash (neutral soap+anti age cream+night threatment+cucumber slice for few long hours)the car before spray clear to remove dust: washing will remove wax?

[Lambo003]

Well, I've done both with the decals.

However, as a general rule I try not to apply anything over a waxed surface. Better to be safe than sorry . . .

Most decals will hold up to light waxing after being applied over a compounded surface anyway. . .

a little but suffered update: strips done. I cut dozens of 8mm strips but when I aplly the decal I discovered a rough cut. Than I try to cut only the decal surface, not the support paper, and this's better. Sorry for the dark image. Next clearcoating

Nice!!
