Tamiya tire decals

[rollover]

I'm having problems with 1/20 Tamiya tire decals. They are the G@@dyear decals printed in reverse. I'm having troubles getting from the paper to the tires. Any ideas, thanks.

Hello, it's fairly simple to do...just follow the procedure outlined in your instruction sheet.

- Remove the tracing paper cover.
- Cut around the logo.
- Carefully, remove the decal lining from the paper backing (use a sharp knife).
- Damp the tyre lightly then place logo on top (letters should be the right way around). Make sure it's in the correct place...they can't be moved around too much.
- Place a few drops of water on top (it should go translucent) then slide the lining off.
- Soak up excess water with corner of tissue.
- Once dry, it might be good to seal it on with a flat clear, but that's optional.

Thank's for the reply kev, that's usually what I do. This must just be an old set or may have dried out. The letters are breaking up on me. I think I might try Solvaset on the tire first to see if it "grabs" the decal.

Hope it works for you. If all else fails, you could make a stencil and spray the logo on instead
