QUOTE(rayloke @ Dec 14 2011, 12:13 PM) no, those chemical wont help much, except top coat (Flat). or get water slide sticker? To make the sticker look nicer, the most important thing is: to trim the extra edge of the sticker. Try cut it as close as u can to the printed area. Besides that make sure the surface is clean, oil free. Then, never use finger. Use clean tweezer to handle the sticker. With the help of some soap water on the surface, put the sticker on, adjust position n slowly use something moderately soft to secure the sticker n press out any air trapped inside. (If u not sure, go those shop that do car window tinting. See how they do it) Tope coat flat. DONT top coat gloss, as the reflectiveness of gloss will enhance the thickness of the sticker which will make it super obvious. Again, most importantly, trim the edge. This will take to hours, probably days to do all the stickers (The last commission job, it took me 2 full days) but is definitely worth it. |

Your figure looks flat finish. You may or may not, it depends if you want to heat the can or not. Just don't spray after rain or humid condition. Yes, coating will definitely affect the surface. just afraid after spray the coat, it looks "glossy" instead of "matte" finish. |

QUOTE(shauno @ Jan 18 2012, 02:55 PM) well, if you bought flat spray, the outcome will be matte, instead of gloss. but if you are unsure, try it our first on some old runners to see how it will look like, then only use it on your figure. because i saw the tutorial all use X series enamel paint in GSC website Added on January 18, 2012, 2:57 pm judging from the pic, the enamel he got for pink and white are gloss. only the grey is flat. |
