Generic lubricant logos I

Generic lubricant logos to take your decorations to the next level

The decals from the Generic Lubricant Logos I series by Decal Station (reference DSC0153) are designed for those who pay attention to every detail in their slot projects, static models, figures, and dioramas. This set includes logos of commonly used lubricant brands in the world of motorsport and competition, the type of sponsors that populate the sides, hoods, and fenders of real race cars.

What does it include and what is it for?

The sheet gathers generic logos associated with the world of lubricants, a recurring decorative element both in the decoration of competition cars and in box environments, paddock dioramas, or any motor-related scene. Its use is not limited to slot: they are equally valid for static models or figures at different scales.

Application and compatibility

Water slide decals are the standard format in the hobby due to their versatility and finish. The basic process is straightforward:

• Carefully cut the decal around the desired logo.
• Soak for a few seconds in water until it slides off the backing paper.
• Place it on the surface previously prepared with a layer of gloss varnish.
• Adjust the position and remove excess water with a soft cloth.
• Once dry, apply a fixer or finishing varnish (matte, satin, or glossy depending on the desired effect) to integrate and protect it.

For perfect integration, products like decal softeners from Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo help adapt the decal to surfaces with relief or sharp curves, avoiding wrinkles and bubbles.

Ideal for…

• Slot car decorators looking for lubricant sponsors for their custom bodies.
• Modellers working on competition car models or service vehicles.
• Diorama creators for paddock, box, or road scenes where lubricant logos add authenticity.
• Collecting enthusiasts restoring or customizing diecast miniatures.

Aspects to consider

As with any water slide decal, surface preparation is key. A base of gloss varnish before application and a final protective layer make the difference between an amateur result and a truly convincing one. If you are working with acrylic paints from Vallejo or Ammo, ensure that the base layer is fully cured before proceeding.

Frequently asked questions

Are they water slide decals?

Yes, this is the standard water slide decal format, compatible with the usual application process on varnished surfaces that we use in slot, models, and dioramas.

What scale are the logos in?

The specific scale information is not detailed in the product data. We recommend checking the image of the sheet before purchase to ensure the size fits your project.

Can I use them on painted plastic bodies?

Yes, as long as the surface is prepared with a prior layer of gloss varnish. Smooth plastic without varnish may hinder adhesion and the correct sliding of the decal.

What products can I use to fix and protect the decals?

You can use spray or brush varnishes from brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo. The finish (matte, satin, or glossy) will depend on the final effect you are looking for in your model.

Are they compatible with any type of base paint?

Yes, water slide decals are compatible with acrylics, enamels, and lacquers, provided that an intermediate layer of gloss varnish has been applied to facilitate adhesion.
