Hey guys ive recently started building my first f1 plastic kit and was wondering for the dry transfer decals for the tyres…When I use any sort of decal on plastic kits I spray clear coat over it to protect the decal…Do you guys spray clear coat over dry transfers on rubber tyres?

Thanks

  I would to protect them. Any type of paint will do, gloss, matte, satin. As long as it doesn’t interfere with the pre-existing paint.

  You don’t need any clear coat on tire decal, btw, is not dry transfer…is decal but printed opposite like high-tech decal. The way of doing it is cut the tire decal with water, wet your tires too, then flip the decal (means the decal is facing tires and decal backing is facing you.) After it sit on it, removed water and slowly removed the decal paper. do you combing with brush, etc like your normal decal.
  
  Clear coat will not stick on the tires and it will peel off after dry, worst the tire decal come off together with the peel. No worry about it, they will not fall off your tire unless you try to stretch or squeeze your tires, lol.
  
  Advance builder will buy aftermarket tire template since those sponsorship on real racing car is sprayed with template too. Cheers…:D
