Default Thank you...

so much! I appreciate all of you guys help on this. I have some delta ceramcoat interior/exterior varnish as well. I've actually had it for a long time. I never really knew when to apply it. I would always apply it over the modge podge after it dried. Perhaps I will try your idea Michigan Joe of applying it to the paint before decailing and then again after decaling.

Here is what I use...

I use acrylic paints. I have never coated prior to decaling. I have always coated with Modge Podge and the delta cermacoat interior/exterior varnish over top.

5-13 I will take a look at that link. I will update you guys over time if things get better.

Thanks again! Gotta love this forum?

In my own experience spray-on clear coats will yellow in a short time, with the exception of Krylon Krystal Klear. The best way to seal a paint job is what has been stated already here, Delta Ceramcoat. I also use Decoart thick gloss on the helmets and stands. These are brush-on so you can be sure whether you have sealed the entire figure.

I'm getting ready to start painting my first team...96 GB Packers.

I bought Ceramcoat sealer for the prep undercoat.

Then I'll paint. All the stores I went to did not have the semi-gloss. So I'll have to find that before I decal.

Then I got the matte and gloss finishes.

Starting to put the undercoat on today.
