Hi guys-
Not sure I am in the correct fishing hole for this but if wrong the mods may move it.
I am Painting two OLD brass steamers.
One is an old Texas type 2-10-4- this steamer was covered with tarnish all over the place, no lacquer over coat was ever applied.
I sand blasted with 180 grit blast media , then washed with super hot soap and water and let air dry over night.
I am using ScaleCoat 1 for paint. I used an engine black (matte) finish on it.
even though the paint went on very smooth I am concerned about applying decals, as the surface of the paint does not look gloss finish.
How do I over come this so the decals can be applied ?
Thanks in advance.
