Flatting new paint.

Hi All

I have a quick question do any of you guys flat back new paint before laying down decals. I ask as I've just sprayed my first car kit in a number of years (started others but binned off before getting to the body stage). I am building Tamiya's Subaru Impreza WRC 99 and spraying it in Zero paints.

I got a lovely depth of colour but have managed to get some bits in the finish so wondered can I flat it back before I decal it.

Sorry if this is a school boy question but coming from armour modelling were you can weather a bit of imperfection in the paint I would sooner ask rather than just plough straight in.

Cheers in advance Steven

Please ignore this question. Just watched Paul's video and at the he says he flats the paint work down.
