[Paint Question (Here we go again)]

Hi all,

I've been reading all the how to paint postings that I can find but I have a bit of a different scenario.

I want to clear coat over my decals but was wondering just what the steps are in doing so.

1. Prime the car

2. Wet sand the primer coats

3. Then mist coats followed by the heavy coats of the base Paint/Color.

Now here's where I have questions?

4. (A) Do I sand the base coat then polish then apply the decals and clear?

( or do I skip the sanding part and the polish and go straight to decals then Clear?

Reason I'm asking is what happens if you find a dust spec in the base coat. I would normally

sand it down to get rid of it then polish it out. But I don't think I want to lay down decals on a polished

surface that I'm going to clear coat because I wouldn't think you want to put clear paint on a wax

or polished surface. The clear wouldn't be compatable with the wax or polish is that true?

So if there's a dull suface from sanding will the clear make that same dull surface dissappear? Help!

[Metal wheels and stacks?]

Thanks all for your suggestions. I wrote KFS via E-mail and still haven't received a reply.

I might have to think of a way to make these things myself. I'll just have to see what happens.

Thanks Bill,

I don't have an E-bay account. Not sure I want one since the IRS is in the process of trying to get information on everyone that has used E-bay in the past because they want the Taxes. It's in the courts right now.

But I'll keep looking ans I thank you...

[Metal wheels and stacks?]

I'm getting back into building the Big Rigs but I don't like the two piece exhaust stacks the come with the kits. Does anyone know where you can get metal ones?

Also the same applies to the plastic wheel rims. Does anyone make any metal rims? I only like to model in 1/24, 1/25 scale....

Thanks all
