Esso decals

The Esso decal in waterslide, ready to bring your modelling projects to life

The Esso ADL0203 Decals from Atalaya Decals bring to your hands one of the most recognisable logos in the history of motorsport and motor culture. The red and blue of Esso has adorned single-seaters, touring saloons, and competition trucks for decades, and now you can reproduce it with all the fidelity that a well-finished job demands.

Decal Features

• Generic decal with the graphic identity Esso, published under reference ADL0203.
• Produced by Atalaya Decals, specialists in decals for the Spanish-speaking modelling and slot market.
• Designed for wet transfer: the classic system that ensures a precise fit on curved or textured surfaces.

Applications

These decals fit into a wide variety of projects:

• Slot cars: customisation of bodies in any scale to recreate liveries of historic sponsors.
• Static models: detailing of competition or street vehicles where Esso was featured as a sponsor or official supplier.
• Figures and dioramas: decoration of barrels, banners, billboards, or pit elements that place the scene in a specific era.

Application Tips

To achieve the best result with any wet transfer decal:

1. Ensure the surface is clean, grease-free, and has a glossy varnish base (Vallejo, Tamiya or similar) to facilitate sliding and adhesion.
2. Soak the decal in warm water for 15 to 30 seconds until it gently separates from the backing.
3. Slide the decal into the desired position and remove excess water with a cotton swab or absorbent paper, without applying too much pressure.
4. Once dry, apply a layer of finishing varnish (matte, satin, or glossy depending on the livery) to protect the decal and integrate it with the rest of the paint.
5. If the surface has pronounced curves, a decal softener product helps them follow the contour without wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale do these decals cover?

The available information does not specify the exact scale. If you need confirmation before ordering, we recommend contacting us so we can check with the manufacturer.

Are they compatible with any slot body?

As they are generic wet transfer decals, they can be applied to the vast majority of plastic or resin bodies, provided the surface is properly prepared with glossy varnish.

Can I also use them on static models?

Yes. They work exactly the same as in any other static modelling project: the application process is the same and the result is equally convincing on painted plastic or resin.

How many decals are included on the sheet?

The exact number of elements per sheet is not specified in the available manufacturer information. Please consult us if you need to know before placing your order.

What finishing varnish do you recommend after applying them?

Both matte and satin varnish from Vallejo or Tamiya work very well to seal and protect the decals once dry. The choice of finish will depend on the final look you want to achieve on your model.
