Also you can print all kinds of patterns to replicate different fabric textures since you’re using a decal paper
@hermanhandbrush44022 жыл бұрын
What a cool idea! Also what works is to take some white fabric medical tape and simply tape it to the seats. You can paint right on it.
@marcmenton8063 Жыл бұрын
Why not just take the mesh ribbon, glue it on the seat and add some flat varnish( light coat) instead of dealing with the decal step? Results should be similar

Hi George, I didn't need to use a sealer. I airbrushed a light coat of Tamiya titanium gold through the mesh onto the decal. Once Tamiya paint is dry the water for soaking the decal won't affect it. I assume that most hobby paints won't be affected by the decal water but I have only tried Tamiya.
