Hi all
Any opinions on lacquering after my painter puts the transfers on the oil tank and toolbox please, they are the stick on ones through the club mag?
Also
Are there any people well versed in exactly where the transfers go (measurements etc) please?
Thanks
A clear varnish should help protect them, but not sure if there is any recommendation for the adhesive transfers?
I've just fitted a waterslide 'piled arms' to my rear number plate bracket and it's had two coats of brushing varnish over the top. My only mistake was rubbing the gloss back for a key before applying the waterslide - I only did it with a scotchbrite enough for the first varnish as I thought it would be easier before the transfer went on, but the background to the transfer looks slightly grey now not a deep black - oh well I'll know next time (I don't think I've applied one since I did airfix kits as a kid!)
Thanks Calum
Hope it still looks a good job for you.
I was thinking I would do waterslide but when I ordered them they came as adhesive type. I got them out of the club mag as I wanted to support that rather than eBay.

Yes I'm happy enough with it, it's certainly not bad enough for me to want to do it again! It's not a show bike by any means.
I got mine from the VMCC (currently awaiting my BSAOC application to be processed)
I'll post a photo of mine when I get them back (unless it all goes horribly wrong!)
My painter puts clear over the stickers, but he always lets them stand for about 3 days first to ensure the glue dries right out.
Something worth thinking about then
