racer3270 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Started a new project recently and I had a question. I'm building the Richie Stevens Mopar pro stock ride with slixx decals. The decals come with one set for the camoflague background and the other set is the actual lettering and other images. Should I lay down a clear coat and put the camo on then clear over them? Can you even clear over slixx decals? I plan on using DuPont urethane clear. I don't want to ruin my decals so any advice/personal experiences would be a big help. Thanks!

booboo60 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I have never put deacals on clear paint only "not to say nobody has" I would apply decals camo 1st let dry. Then stack number and letters on next. "i pretty much quit using toxic clear coats! Really, I tried the floor wax and have had great results, its cheaper, brighter, and easy on decals, I have never had a set fade or wrinkle! It's good stuff, I use it on my glass, chrome etc..hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer3270 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 My main concern is that after I apply the camo decals and go to overlay the letters and number that the camo will move when I rewet it Which is why I thought I should clear over the camo then put on the lettering/sponsors?

yellowsportwagon Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 If the car is cleared before any dwcals,as in one light coat Put the big decals on then a thin coat of clear. Then put the rest of the decals on. Trick is to go lightly on clear over decals.Always clear over the base before any decal application.Hardened clears do not move when applying more clear causing the wrinkling problems.
