Michelin decals

Michelin on your model, with the precision demanded by Atalaya Decals

The Michelin Decals ADL0301 from Atalaya Decals are generic decals featuring the Michelin emblem, one of the most ubiquitous sponsors and tyre suppliers in the history of motorsport. If your project requires that authentic detail that makes the difference between a correct replica and an impeccable one, this reference makes it easy for you.

What are these decals for?

Generic sponsor decals like this play a fundamental role in the world of modelling, slot racing, and miniature customization. The Michelin logo appears on virtually any single-seater, GT, or touring car that has competed at a certain level over the past few decades: wings, fenders, body sides, sidepods… Its presence is so common that omitting it in a competition livery is visually obvious.

• Customization of slot cars with real or fictional racing liveries.
• Detailing of static models in any scale.
• Setting up figures and dioramas with authentic sponsors.
• Repairing or replacing damaged decals on collectible models.

Atalaya Decals

Atalaya Decals is a producer specialized in decals for the world of modelling and slot racing, known among enthusiasts for the sharpness of its prints and for offering hard-to-find references in the general market. Their decals are designed to be applied using standard methods: water, decal softener, and, if greater durability is desired, a finishing varnish.

Application and tips

To achieve the best results when applying these decals, we recommend following these basic steps:

1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and has a satin or glossy base coat. Decals adhere poorly to matte finishes.
2. Carefully cut the decal, leaving the minimum possible clear film around the design.
3. Soak the decal in cold water for 20-30 seconds until it separates from the paper.
4. Slide the decal onto the desired area and adjust its position with a damp brush.
5. Apply a decal softener (such as those from Vallejo or Tamiya) to help the decal conform to curved or textured surfaces.
6. Once dry, protect it with a final varnish according to the desired finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many decals are included in the ADL0301 sheet?

We do not have detailed information on the exact number of designs per sheet for this specific reference. Please check the updated listing in the store or contact us to confirm before placing your order.

Are they compatible with any scale?

As they are generic decals, their suitability will depend on the size of the printed design and the scale of your model. We recommend checking the dimensions of the design to ensure it fits your project.

Do I need to varnish the surface before applying them?

Yes. Applying a glossy or satin varnish beforehand greatly facilitates the sliding and adhesion of the decal, and prevents the "silvering" effect or visible film around the design.

Can I use them on resin or plastic?

Yes, as long as the surface is properly prepared and varnished. They are suitable for plastic, resin, metal, and any other common substrate in modelling and slot racing.

What paints are they compatible with?

There is no base incompatibility with the usual paints in the sector (Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido, Ammo), provided that the intermediate varnish is fully cured before applying the decal.
