This may seem a naive question, but does anyone have experience of applying waterslide transfers to Heljan Diesels?
I need to apply a Large Sector Logo to a Helajn Triple-Grey Class37, and am keen not to see any transfer film.
In the past I have had experience of applying transfers to a Cellulose Gloss Finish surface and after a final coat of clear varnish, they just "melt" into the paintwork.
The question is: should I first spray the area with a Gloss coat (eg Alclad), or is the Heljan paintwork sufficiently smooth to "accept" the transfer.
I would then finish off with a coat of matt or semi-matt to seal everything.
I'd be interested to know the techniques used by others.
Thanks
Tim
