Nice work scooter. You just keep cranking them out!

Nice car, very nice, all of them! Are those decals by Patto the kind you can use decal solution like microsol and solvaset on? Decal solution works great for the old auto world decals I have, but I used them on some others and they bleed and/or they dont conform the the body right.

You don't need decal setting solution for Patto's decals, however, you need to be careful with what you use for a clearcoat after the decals are applied.
Some clearcoats will destroy the decals. I use a couple coats of Future. As far as conforming, it does take a great deal of patience to work the decals around complex shapes.

I had noticed this problem with some of Patto's decals as well as others I came across when I did customs. The work around for me was to clearcoat the car after the painting was completed. Body color(s), details and whatever else I had painted. After the clearcoat sat up for a day or so, apply the decals. Give them a day to set up then I coat them with a couple of light coats of Future. Works great for protection, shine and I haven't screwed up any decals using Future yet. :) rr

I've noticed that if you Future coat before decaling, its easier to float the decals where they need to go.

scooter, That cat looks great, very nice work.
