Thank you

Hi Fly,

Preparation is the key for this one.  If you have decals, its best for the NON LAMINATED ones.  On occasions the laminated ones will react with 2pac (2k) clear.  I don't know why, but it seems a bit hit and miss from different manufacturers (of the decals).

Make sure the inserts are nice and level.  Also make sure the old screened artwork & clear on the inserts are gone.

I've done this method in the past with 2k clear and has worked well.

Are you in Poland?  Just make sure if using 2k clear to wear all the correct safety gear as its really bad for you.  Depending on the time of year over there, if its winter I'd suggest spraying in a booth with the manufacturers suggested spraying temp.  I've seen some other clears shot in other areas of Europe during winter and they didn't turn out well.

Best of luck.
