Clearcoat over vinyl decals

Forums

Hi,

I am sure that this has probably been asked before but does anyone have experience of applying 2k clear coat over Andover Norton vinyl decals for "Norton" and "Commando" badges.  My tank and panels are finished up to base coat but now I have to decide if I apply the decals now then spray the clear coat over them which would be my preferred option or apply the decal last of all.  Thanks

You need to test the decal with your chosen clearcoat first in case its not compatible, Classic Transfers supply offcuts for clearcoat testing when they supply decal's if asked so best ask AN for an offcut so you can do the test without risk to the decal. Done correctly the clearcoat over decal is better looking job.

I tested a spare decal that I had and it went ok so I have applied the decals and clear coated over them. So far so good. Look so much better under the lacquer and no sharp edges. Once cut back and polished the edges should be also non existent.
