element Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I need to dull coat over a redline decal placed on the tire(to shiny). What is the best for this. Somthing like Testors dull coat (hot) or something water based. Thanks
ChrisPflug Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I've had good results with Testors dull cote over redline tire decals- light mist coats rather than trying to put on a heavy coat
Chuck Most Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I've never used anything but Testors Dullcote for this purpose- it has never let me down.
High octane Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I've never used anything but Testors Dullcote for this purpose- it has never let me down. Me too, I've used it over white letter tire decals and it works great!
ffreak Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Same here too. Testors dullcote with light coats only. I've always used it on tire lettering and it's perfect.
slapshot Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Same here. I sanded down the the raised lettering & floated the decal onto the tires side wall,dried it off with a paper towel & sprayed it down with with Tester's dull cote.Sorry that the tire shots are at a distance but that was the the best tire shot with dull cote that I have.
Danno Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I'm also a member of the DullCote fan club. Nothing else works as consistently well, in my experience. And, since that's about all I use it for (making kit tires look like real tires and making satin finish for wheels, etc.), a can goes a long way.
bang bang Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I agree with all the above .By the way that's one nice looking vette you got there slapshot.
