[quote user="kfleeman1"]BTW, I am totally new to custom painting.  I have done a lot of detailing work, but never custom paint.  What, if any, clear coat should I use after I get the black sprayed on.  Dull coat?  What do I need to have on in order for the decals to stick properly?  Again, I'm new to this so anything you can tell me helps. [/quote] You need a glossy, smooth clear coat for decals to adhere properly.  Something like Testors GlossCote should do it. After you apply the decals and let it dry, that's when you seal everything up with a Dullcote. You can get acceptable results using spray cans...  But if you want to do weathering, it's much easier to do with an airbrush. Hope this helps.
