Wow, that's quite the mental picture.... literally...

Two of the decals bubbled up on me...did I mention how much I enjoy sanding?

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...)
