yes that will work as well, especially if you want the decals to be torn and worn when you do weathering. Mine is only slight weathering and if you look at real world examples, decals on cars are pristine compared to the surrounding metal. Both methods work
actually I personally don't like mixing franchises because if compared with the real thing, you will always see the flaws. has to be done really well and subtle, where the viewer goes "that looks familiar"
What type of paint are you using? I've never had any issues - I always use a lacquer topcoat prior to sumire (panel lining). That locks the paint under a solid protective layer, as it should hold up to everything short of lacquer thinner. Then once the decals are on and any weathering, I do one more final layer of topcoat.
God! That looks totally badass! Great work dude! 🤩👌
you should try applying decals before weathering for a more realistic look
