Here's the water slide decals and the chrome wrap.
The chrome wrap is interesting, Randy Boadway told me the black stripes were laser burnt into the Mylar.
These are real "old school" screen printed decals. Notice the clear coat border around the decal ink in the light reflection. It's not an overall clear coat.
This makes the decals easier to handle. You can cut them a little larger - the only image that will transfer is the clear coat area and inked image underneath.
NOTE: These decals will stick better to a smoother, gloss surface. There wasn't any "silvering" like you could see when placing a water-slide decal on a flat finished paint surface. But - it did take more time to get the decal surface to "seat " on the metallic paint.
Do you ever use Micro-sol? In my experience it completely resolves any issues with decals sitting on slightly textured surfaces.
ReplyDeleteHi Neil,
DeleteI have used it before, that small bottle seems to last a long time! I've only found it necessary when decals have to fit into recessed mold lines, like the corrugation on the Estes Little Joe II body wrap. On this paint there wasn't enough of a problem to use it.
