Transfer problems.

Post by crawsue »

I'm having the tank and side panels re-done on my G5.My painter who has done some very good work for me before, has encountered a problem putting the 2-pack laquer onto the Matchless "laurel wreath" transfers-they just bubble-up with even the most delicate of covering.The tank badges are vinyl ,and not a problem.Anyone got any clues?

Hi Crawford
I cover the transfers with Humbrol clear lacquer so guess you would have to apply them on top of the two-pack lacquer then use the humrol (just on the transfer).

If you do a Help Forum search you will find lots of answers.
