Whatever I use on the rest. Usually LS High Build. I use Decal Connection decals and never put anything over them besides my finish

Forgot my full name on previuos post.


If it's waterslide a coat of decal setting solution thinned 50% and then my wrap finish, AMTAK Clear Coat in three thin applications. Self adhesive, just the AMTAK finish.

Fish decals- I put a coat of Krylon spray and then 2 part rod finish (fish decals like to "fish-eye" otherwise).
Waterslides- I use micro sol and then 2 part rod finish.

First a thin coat of LS Hi-Build over the decal area, cured overnite. Then MicroSol, decal and a thicker coat of LS Hi-Build.

I apply finish, then the decal, then CP, then permagloss. I like the "floating" look it gives.
