tomk Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi, I have been scale modeling for 40 years but I'm working on one of my first cars. Do you put the clear coat under or over the decals? thanks...tomk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put the clear coat under or over the decals? thanks...tomk I put it both under and over. Under to give a smooth level surface and over to seal them in and level the decal with the paint. You can just overcoat as most car finishes are glossy and just fine for decals. If you want to see a sample of the under/over clear coat look up my Kurtis Kraft racer in the review section of this website. The clear coat I used was from testors. Hope that helps.
