I really like how easy on the ears your voice is. I mean, and I know I've seen this very comment somewhere on your videos before, it's like listening to Bob Ross of modeling.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Oh cool, thank you very much! Doing the video edits and sometimes I get a little tired of my own voice so that made my day, cheers for that! After starting TH-cam, kind folks started mentioning Bob Ross and I get it, I had never seen the show but after checking it out I can totally "hear" what you mean and I'm a big fan now, he's the best!!

[@Davef2912]

Perfect, Lincoln! Thank you! Just all what I wanted to know about applying decals! :)

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Excellent, thanks Dave and hope it helps!!

[@CMBDIA]

very informative video. thanks! great for me because i'm learning how to decal my gunpla

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Art CMBDIA excellent feedback and good timing, cheers buddy!

[@LorenzoMeroni]

🤔 top coat after decal/before weathering should be flat or gloss? I guess it depends on the weathering you're going to apply like flat can work for a heavy weathered finish with texture/pigments? Or it doesn't even matter? Thanx! 😁

[@motionboy356]

Some companies make kits that give decals that are expected to be put over each other to make the complete image. How does one put another decal over a decal already on your model?

[@Grifftrogg]

You leave them over night! Man I slap about three applications of the Micro set on with about 10-15 min apart then a final coat of Sol wait until dry then clear coat and dull coat to tie it all back in.... I guess I'm just impatient, lol. I also help the flattening/settling process along by rolling a cotton bud over the decal at every step until it's sitting flat.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Nice, thanks Troggman!!

[@Grifftrogg]

Anyone who has ever tried to put a Blood Angels chapter badge on a marines shoulder pad will know the agony that has lead me to this extreme level of application, lol.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Grifftrogg oh yeah! I did a bunch of Ultramarines and those U markings... euww. That was before I knew about these sorts of products too. 😆😆

[@Ljun6763]

wait, you did your weathering before applying decal ? won't the decal looks new compared to its surrounding ? or you need to weather it once again ?

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Abe Hadiwidjojo excellent observation. This is the model before weathering, really!! This is just my paint steps for this kind of Ma.K finish. Don't worry I understand, it's a little bit unique way to make models. 😊👍🏼

[@random1234567890ize]

how required so you say is to get the mark setter/micro set? i only purchased the mr mark softer when i want to have the decals "melt" to round surfaces and found them stick on the model with just water to be fine. is there something im missing

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Ji Sang Park if your results are good and you are happy - all good 😊 👍🏼

[@phat_gunpla_etc]

you don't go over your water slides with a qtip? i see many guys squeezy the decals on.

[@NPC0010]

Mr Super Clear? I thought those things damage slides when applied over them? It says so in their site.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

It's possible so they have the warning but in practice, we do it all the time. ^^

[@NPC0010]

@@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright Wow, guess I'll have to reconsider. I've been using the Mr. Hobby topcoat and I always run out so fast. That's why I wanted to get the super clear ones but then I read that warning. So is there anything else I should be wary about when using it? So that I don't damage my decals, panels, and paint etc.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Don't spray on water-based paints until they have 24hrs drying time, they need to cure. Go slowly, test with mist coats. It's pretty hot stuff but my #1 top coats for Gloss, Satin and Flat.
