[QUOTE="kieronsykes, post: 123637, member: 4065"] Having painted several Vincent tanks over the last few years for members of the VOC i personally dont use water slide transfers anymore. Whist i did wet sand with 1000 grit prior to applying the transfers, i've had too many fail once the 2k lacquer (without reducer/thinner mixed in) is applied. I've found that even though when the transfer was applied and dried for 2-3 days, there appears to be no air bubbles, and then lacquering in bubbles or wrinkles appeared from nowhere. I always use vinyl decals now and build up the layers of lacquer using high solids lacquer to get the build until the decal feels almost flat to the surface. [/QUOTE]
