Q/A & Help Group 8 years, 2 months ago Well almost done with my first kit but i have one question left. I know you can buy waterslides of stickers but can you also get dry transfer versions of stickers.? I love so far how the dry trans are coming out. Just need to wait for aligator clips then ill top coat.

I don’t think Bandai sells dry transfer decals, as they’re moving away from providing them in their kits due to the fact that they’re not very well liked. They look good, but they’re easy to mess up, WAY to easy.
I suggest that if you cannot spray coat the parts yet, to use a good flat brush, like brand new or the best you have, and brush some clear coat over them. one light stroke, don’t go over it multiple times or you will separate the transfer from the part. This will make sure that they don’t rub off before you can clear coat the whole kit. I would suggest taking the information parts on the transfer sheet(the parts that have the bandai logo, kit name, scale, etc) use them on some throw away plastic, and practice doing a single brush passover on them so that you get it right, because it can be easier then you think to brush them off. but in the end, it’ll pay off because they’re not gonna get messed up, and/or come off before you have a chance to spray coat it.
ya i screwed up my first one but the rest so far have worked and im coating the pices asap when im done
‘sup. there’s a site (pulsarprofx.com) here in the states where you can make custom dry transfers with a laser printer. but having said that, Slater4u said it best-it’s way, way too easy to make a mistake. that’s the main reason (I think) most people use water slides, while they’re wet, you can move them around and place them perfectly.
