Decals on chryslers

[blubaja]

I borrowed your pic Dean. Hope it's ok.

On an older Mopar like this:


How would you go about getting the decals flat-in sheen. Could I shoot dullcoat over them before I apply them? Or would that just rinse off when putting them in water?

Or would you spray them with the dullcoat after applied to the body?

What else is there?

As nice as the Revell decals are these days, I kinda wish they had Fujimi's unintentionally flat decals

Unless I miss my guess, I think Dean is applying a clearcoat after applying the decal. I've never seen a Mopar flat-black area decal that shiny, Revell or AMT.

Sorry. I did notice on his, it is all cleared. I meant to ask how do I make it, so that the car is cleared, but the decals have a flat finish?

I remember reading a review once in a magazine where a kit had old fragile decals that broke apart, so the author sprayed a clearcoat on the remaining decals (it was either Testors dull or gloss coat, not sure now ) and they were applied with no further problems.
