Repsol decals

The Repsol livery in 1/32 scale, ready to transform your project

The decals ADL0209 from Atalaya Decals reproduce the graphic identity of Repsol in 1/32 scale, one of the most recognisable colour schemes in all of motorsport. The Repsol orange has adorned Formula 1 cars, endurance prototypes, and world champion motorcycles, becoming a visual reference for any motorsport and modelling enthusiast.

Application and Use

Water slide decals are the most common method in modelling and slot car customization to achieve clean and professional-looking results. The general process is straightforward: prepare the surface with a glossy varnish base, cut out the decal, soak it in water for a few seconds, slide it into position, and once dry, fix it with a new varnish to visually integrate it with the bodywork.

For better results, we recommend using a decal softener — products like those from Vallejo or Tamiya work very well — on curved or textured surfaces, as it helps the decal conform without wrinkles or bubbles.

Ideal for…

• Customising slot car bodies in 1/32 scale with a real racing decoration.
• Static models of cars, motorcycles, or prototypes sponsored by Repsol.
• Dioramas and figures that require graphic elements from the motorsport world.
• Scratchbuilding or repainting projects where fidelity to the original livery is desired.

Aspects to Consider

Before applying any decal, ensure that the surface is perfectly clean, free of grease, and protected with glossy varnish. A previous matte or satin finish may cause the decal not to adhere properly, leaving visible edges. Once positioned and dry, a final finish varnish — matte, satin, or glossy, according to your preferences — will seal the work and protect the decoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are they water slide decals?

Atalaya Decals works with the water slide decal system, the standard in modelling and slot for achieving integrated and professional-looking finishes.

What scale are these decals compatible with?

They are specifically designed for 1/32 scale, the most common in slot and in a large part of competition car and motorcycle models.

Do I need any special products to apply them?

Water and a glossy varnish surface are sufficient for basic application. For areas with curves or texture, a decal softener from brands like Vallejo or Tamiya will facilitate the process and improve the result.

Can I use them on plastic and resin bodies?

Yes, as long as the surface is properly prepared with a layer of glossy varnish. It works equally well on plastic, resin, or metal.

What final varnish do you recommend?

It depends on the finish you are looking for. Matte varnish provides a more realistic appearance in models; satin is common in slot cars. Brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo offer good options in both finishes.
