Koellefornia Kid Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 In 2012, I thought my imaginary scale custom car garage needed a shop truck. I also wanted to experiment with printable decal foil, so I chose AMT´s ´61 Ranchero kit to build a little hot rodded utility vehicle. Body was shaved, suspension was lowered and the engine was wired. 5-spoke wheels came from Revell´s ´32 Ford and I added some cardboard boxes to the bed. The checkered roof, door logos and licence plates were done with photoshop, printed on decal paper and applied with micro sol setting solution. Worked quite well. Thanks for looking ps.: does anyone know about some good, reliable decal paper sheets for inkjet printers? I never found those I used back then again and none of the other brands I tried worked that good. Colors always dissolved or didn´t dry out well. Or maybe it´s just the cheap refilled ink...

FredRPG Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I've had good results with Papilio brand paper. Good quality ink and printer are important and how you seal the ink. Don't think you'll find inkjet water slide paper as thin as printed decals, especially since you need to clear coat them before applying.
