Race number decal set 1/32

Give your car the number it deserves: race decals in 1/32 scale

The Race Number Decal Set 1/32 (SC-9002) from Scaleauto is a decal sheet designed to decorate racing cars in 1/32 scale. With it, you can personalise the number of your slot car or model with a tidy, precise result that looks genuinely competitive, without the need for hand painting or stencils.

What does the set include?

The SC-9002 set contains a decal sheet with race numbers intended for racing cars in 1/32 scale. The waterslide format allows for controlled application on the bodywork, easily conforming to slightly curved surfaces.

Application and compatibility

Waterslide decals are the most widely used method in precision modelling: slot cars, static models, and figures. The process is straightforward:

1. Cut out the decal with the desired number, leaving the minimum margin possible.
2. Soak for a few seconds in lukewarm water until the decal separates from the backing paper.
3. Gently slide it onto the previously varnished or lacquered area of the bodywork.
4. Remove excess water with a cotton swab or soft brush and let it dry.
5. Apply a coat of finishing varnish (matte, satin, or glossy according to your preference) to fix and protect.

For best results, we recommend working on a clean, grease-free surface. Using a decal softener like Micro Sol or similar helps them conform better to the contours and details of the bodywork.

Ideal for…

• Club racers who want to identify their car with a personal number.
• Enthusiasts who customise resin or plastic bodywork in 1/32 scale.
• Preparers looking for a clean finish without resorting to freehand painting.
• Static racing model builders who need realistic competition numbering.

Points to consider

Although waterslide decals are easy to use, proper surface preparation makes a difference. A well-primed body with a glossy varnish layer ensures that the decal adheres without bubbles and with perfectly attached edges. If the surface is matte or very rough, it is advisable to varnish the application area before placing the decal.

Frequently asked questions

Are they waterslide or adhesive decals?

They are waterslide decals, the standard format in precision modelling. They require moisture to detach from the backing paper and conform more faithfully to the surface than adhesive decals.

What materials do these decals work well on?

They work on plastic and resin bodywork in 1/32 scale, both painted and in their original factory finish, as long as the surface is clean. A prior coat of glossy varnish is recommended to optimise adhesion.

Do I need varnish to fix the decals?

It is not strictly necessary, but it is highly recommended. A coat of finishing varnish over the already dry decal visually integrates it with the bodywork and protects it from wear during races.

Are they compatible with paints from other brands?

Yes. Waterslide decals are compatible with paint finishes from common modelling brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido, or Ammo, as long as the surface is properly cured and dry.
