www.scalemotorsport.com has the best in my opinion. Most online shops carry his products.

Go straight to scalemotorsport and order from them. I have been using them for many years and the best cf decal out there. The online ordering is simple and very quick shipments.

Good Luck
Doug

S27 decals are also great, but SMS are cheaper. go for them.

The SMS Hi-def can't be beat for modern CF used on the ubiquitous CF hood.

your are now treading into the "do a search" territory. but x-22 or Gunze clear are the safest as they are acrylics but people have had success with all different types of clear.

I used Testors #2936 clear on that hood; it was allowed to dry for about 2 weeks or so.

Re: Need URGENT help to buy a CF decal

The safest is Gunze clear. I used it on my two models, no problems. Even if I tried to wet coat it the first time, it doesn't do anything to the decals.

Having said that, make sure that the decals are allowed to completely dry for at least 3 days or a week to be safe.
