Is that from the surface not being smooth?

I was told after the fact that you need to wait a minimum of two days after spraying clear before applying decals...they said out-gassing of the clear curing caused this.

On the upside I may be able to salvage this. Took a soft cloth saturated with lacquer thinner and within three minutes had all the decals cleanly off.

Another attempt...this time around I added some Fire Red flake over the black base coat. I will let this cure for two days before re-applying the tank decal and following coats of clear. (Crosses fingers...)

Hope this is last time I have to do this...if not, I will delete the decal for sure.
