Scale Motorsport decals

[RichCostello]

I'm trying Scale Motorsport interior decals and I thought that the pattern is supposed to let the color show through, but mine are just white, with a plaid pattern. Do you apply these like regular decals, or is there a trick that I don't know about? What am I doing wrong???

So, I guess nobody has ever used these.

Rich the ones I've used had the pattern printed on clear decal film. Yes they do go on like any other decal.

Check the part number you have at the Scale Motorsports web site and look at the "details" for that sheet.

That should clear it all up, good luck.

I'd email them as Matthew over there has great customer service.

I own them but haven't used them.  I read that people were using a hair dryer to form and dry them.  Otherwise, like said above, they are just decals.

I ended up using them anyway, and it actually turned out looking kind of cool with the white/plaid inserts on a red interior. They laid down good and conformed well to the seat pattern. I was just under the impression that they were all on transparent paper. I guess I was mistaken.

Some photos might help.

I know that Scale Motorsports did some plaid pattern trunk liner decals.

If those are the ones that you have, they are probably printed on white paper to look like a vintage trunk liner.

 

 

 

 

They did some clear plaid upholstery decals as well.

I used them on a '63 Ford pickup build and even though I chose to use them over white, they were printed on clear paper.

Steve, the ones that I used look exactly like the seats in your Ford pickup, except I applied them over red painted seats. 

I've had these decals for a long time, but just got around to trying them. The label on them says "Clear pattern decals designed to be placed over any painted seating surface creating a seat pattern to coordinate with any color scheme".

Neat!  I have all the 1960-63 Ford pickups and have been itching to just crank them out.  Maybe I'll use my decals like yours Steve!

I looked on Scale Motorsport website and the picture of the decal sheet, with the same code # doesn't look the same as the one that I have, so somebody screwed up somewhere. I put in a question about it on their site, so I'll wait and see if I get an answer.

Very possible.

Could have been mis-packaged.

I've used their checkered decal over red paint for the seats of the interior of my 2016 Camaro.

I've used their decals on several projects.   Put over GLOSS paint to avoid the silvering, then spray flat clear over decal.

Yeah, that's the same pattern I used over red paint. Mine came out white.
