Application and use

Water-slide decals are the most common method among slot and static model enthusiasts for adding graphics, race numbers, sponsors, and body details without the need for masks or airbrushes. The process is simple: cut out the decal, briefly soak it in water, and carefully slide it onto the pre-prepared surface.

To achieve the best result, we recommend applying a coat of gloss varnish (Vallejo, Tamiya or similar) before placing the decal, and sealing it afterwards with another varnish — matte or satin depending on the desired finish — once dry. This protects the decal, eliminates the silvering effect on the edges, and integrates the graphic into the bodywork naturally.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts who want to customize or restore classic slot car bodies.
• Collectors looking to recreate historical liveries with detail and authenticity.
• Diorama and static model builders incorporating period vehicles.

Frequently asked questions

How are water-slide decals applied?

Cut the decal precisely, submerge it in cold water for a few seconds until it separates from the backing paper, and slide it onto the surface. It is advisable to varnish before and after to ensure adhesion and protect the result.

What varnish should I use before and after placing the decal?

Before the decal, apply a gloss varnish to create a smooth surface that facilitates sliding and avoids the silvering effect. After drying, you can seal with matte, satin, or gloss varnish depending on the finish you are looking for. Brands like Vallejo or Tamiya offer good products for this task.

Can I use these decals on any slot car body?

In principle, yes, as long as the surface is clean, grease-free, and properly prepared. The optimal result is achieved on previously varnished polycarbonate or resin bodies.

Is it necessary to have experience to apply them?

No advanced experience is required. With a little patience, water, a fine brush, and a sealing varnish, any enthusiast can achieve very satisfactory results.
