I have the red nr 30 decal for this car. I also going to use one coat of clear varnish. But what do i have to do first? The decal or the varnish?


Painted the inside.

I don't use varnish at all. If you are going to clear coat it with varnish or another type of clear coat, first make sure it is compatible with the white paint you have on the car. Wrong clear will bubble or wrinkle the white paint. Second, the decal goes on first and is then held and protected by the clear coat.

Did some work on the Dinky Toys Mercedes and Dinky Toys Ford Taunus.


Painted the baseplates, new tyres, painted the interior from the Mercedes, painted the grill from the Mercedes and Taunus and back grill from the Taunus. Tomorrow the back lights and number plate from the Taunus.
