Chrome Waterslide Decals

Hi all,

I've just got a LB productions AMG decal set, and it comes with chrome waterslide decals - does anyone have any experience with these? They are an entirely new concept to me - my mind was blown when I saw them.

Just wondering if they handle different to normal ones, and whether there a way to knock back the shine?

Will Ultimate decal solutions work on them without tarnishing the finish?

Thanks

Not a car builder and have never seen them, but is there a bit that isn't used you could test it out on ?

I havent used them but Ive used similar things. As digger said, test a bit first. You can very lightly rub any fine abrasive material over any shiny surface to reduce the shine, like a very worn fine grit sanding pad etc. even a standard tissue can do the job. A very thin satin clear would also cut the shine. The decal solution - you would again test a bit in an invisible spot. If you do paint it first, the decal solution wont touch the decal, so should be fine.
Test it first...Good luck
and remember to test it first

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, i will try it on a patch thats not seen much, fingers crossed cos theres a set of decals that go exactly of vervthe top to create a grunge effect on the silver 😬

Wow never seen that before
Test it out as suggested
Clear usually knocks chrome back a bit
