I use all of the Tamiya clears (TS-13 Gloss, TS-79 Semi-Gloss, and TS-80 Flat) as well as Testors Gloss and Dull cote successfully over cf decals. My favorite for cf decals is Testors Model Master Metallizer Clear Coat, as it gives a satin finish, not flat, but not too gloss. Always give 1 or 2 mist coats to prevent damage to the decals, then heavier coats to finish. Regardless how you choose, I'm sure it's gonna look great!!CTurbert wrote:Thanks! Progress is slow while I'm working on a commission build but it's getting there. I'm still deciding on which clear to use over the CF only parts such as the floor. I am going to leave the CF decals on the body alone to avoid complicated masking. This includes the monocoque, front wing, bargeboards and rear wing endplates. Those parts are already covered by 2K clear. For the CF only parts such as the floor, suspension, wheel hubs, etc, I might use decanted TS-79 semi gloss clear, or a mixture of Testors Gloss cote + dull cote. The TS-79 can eat decals but I might be able to get away with light mist coats. Or maybe I'll cover them all in 2K clear!CBartholomew4677 wrote:Wow!! The Ferrari is looking great, fantastic finish you're getting with the clear both on the body and cf floor.
Keep up the great work!!
