Quoted from Leveeger:

Hum... Really glossy...

HEP does it less glossy but he is far more talented with a spray gun. Gloss comes from polishing, if you can spray like a pro then you can use a matte gloss with no polishing.

I dunno... Once you do one... You need to do them all.

Quoted from underlord:

Anyone who doesn’t like full gloss hasn’t seen it in person. My wozecle with the cc’d cab was magic.
Hey KcZ, were these decals that were cleared? Teach me!
[quoted image]

None were full decals... I don't think I'd be able to do this with full decals... I'm not good enough putting on full decals.

Jurassic Park was decals but only the color portion was a decal, black areas were paint.

Silverball Mania was full paint. I used modified Pinball Pimp stencils to create the painted surface.

Quoted from underlord:

So there were no issues clearing over decals?

I've seen games that have had clear over full decals... Looked great. I don't know that I can get full decals down without little bubbles tho.

My JP was partial decals under the clear.
