I've always used Krylon satin clear as a fixative on inkjet pictures. Spray many very light coats and let dry. If you spray too heavy a coat, the ink may run. As always TEST on a scrap piece.
No opinions???
Aw....
Hi there,
Doing a repaint on a basket case diesel/steam picture Flyer 566 billboard. After getting the metal surfaces back to passable, I used Rust-Oleum's gray automotive primer and dry sanded it, and the pieces looked good to go for topcoat.I used Krylon's Ivory satin enamel for the billboard piece itself, but I'm not convinced of the shade, maybe a tad too yellow. I thought Krylon used to make an Antique White, but couldn't find that. Anybody used something else they thought matched up well for the Flyer billboards, Krylon or otherwise? If not, I may just go with Krylon's semi-gloss white if there are no other suggestions.I found a Charles Wood Flyer accessory green which I assume will match up well for the base and whistle housing.Lastly, anybody ever clear topcoat the paper sticker to give it a protective coating? I was wondering if I could use a satin coat over the reproduction sticker to give it some durability, I always see those paper stickers nicked up and all.Any thoughts? I'll post a picture of the results when I'm done! Thanks
