Casey Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The decal's matte finish is really obvious here, as mentioned in the review of this kit in the Reviews section. I don't think they can be used without clear coating them before or after application. Is the NorCal spolier is sagging because the body is spreading apart?

I don't think they can be used without clear coating them before or after application. Is the NorCal spolier is sagging because the body is spreading apart? i will be clear coating after i have all the decals on... i dont know how to do it before i apply them... no the spoiler was formed like that i was going to try to straighten it but the last time i did try it i snapped it... so being as this is only my 10th kit ever i will leave it untill i got a little more skill in that area lol.
