For a neat finish, the decals should be applied to a painted, smooth and clean surface. A gloss varnish generally makes them easier to apply and helps reduce the risk of a silvering haze appearing under the decal film. A suitable final protection then allows you to unify the look of the decoration with the model’s paint.
