Allison Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 Hi Everyone i’m new on this hobby here and would like to ask if i should put on the decals first before using clear coat ? Thank you
kitbash1 Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 I do both. I seal the paint with the first light coat of clear, let dry for a day then decal. Let the decals dry for a day the seal the decals with two light coats of clear, letting dry for an hour between coats.

Thank you Hi Allison, welcome to the forum. Be careful as the Tamiya clear can “eat” the decals. I recommend two light coats over the decals, wait a day, then a medium coat.

bobss396 Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 If the decal sheet has extras, experiment using those first on a scrap body. Use the same primer and paint. 1
