First off I cant copy and paste with my phone so I have to answer this way lol
pinball god: Ive noticed that bare timber really sucks up the first coat of paint, so I asume it would do tbe same to a decal adhesive and over time maybe let go in places.
joele: I understand your geting a super smooth finish, but my thaughts are the same as what I explained above. Im just trying to get maximum adhesion with less time, effort and cost.
Gav: that sounds like a plan for future referance. It will save a lot of time doing just 2 coats of clear instead of the undercoat, colour and clear.
thanks for your wisdom guys.
