Or you spray too close? Those cans in industrial really burst when you spray. Pressure too high too much volume coming out no way to reduce the pressure just keep a further distance... The angle is pretty wide also.

I also curious, why some paints require gloss black undercoat?

So does it mean your final coat cannot be too thick? If too thick black or white makes no difference right?

for example mirror like chrome.

Can share the best method for applying water slide decals on race cars that have most of the body covered with decals?

Do we need special preparations on the body surface after painting? Like gloss coat etc?

Do we need to add special solution to soften the decals?

Do we need to trim the decals before applying?

How do we apply big decals properly on uneven surfaces, e.g curve surface, surface with small bumps etc.

What do we need to do to protect decals after applying? Gloss coat?


I did a car full of racing decals before, but having problems like:

a.Decal start to crack after few years as it become dry and fragile. Looks like paint chipping out.

b.I have problem with the decals at the bottom of the body like bumpers where the decal extend from bumper to the bottom part. Due to the angle it's hard for the decal to stick and chips off quite easily after time.

c.For eneven surfaces like curve, even though Tamiya decals have thin line cuts for this, it's still not perfect when applied, do we need further mod before apply?

I plan to buy a 1/10 and work on it and hoping i can do it properly this time.

When do you use Softener & when do you use setter?

Gloss coat same as topcoat right?

ebay or hobbysearch can get good deals. no need go out find.
