In the process of re painting the bits on the bike i was wondering if it would be ok to apply the decals ive got before i start to laquer would be better to seal them under the laquer so they dont peel off so easily

Get one extra sticker . Place on something you do not need . Spray lacquer on and see if it reacts blooms etc .

You know you don't have to wait for the paint to harden sparky you can lacquer 5 Min's after painting it won't hut the paint at all,it's the lacquer you have to let harden off As for the hair dryer just blame me you where following my instructions and i will :hides: from your missus

My thing on the decal was a sprayer saying he ould test the decal first as he has done so many where the it would'nt take .

DON'T use sand paper. No matter how fine, you will scratch it. Use 1200 grade wet or dry with plenty of water if you do decide to rub it down
(but you knew that already)
