    John thats a unique mottle on that I like it! I noticed your decals have some silvering ,some decal solvent will help a lot to cure it. All around great looking Gustav ,very nicely done Sir!!

      Thanks trey I used micro set and sol on the decals but they were that old they had browned with age inside the box they should be transparent I did swish them around in water to get rid of the browning effect and that's how they turned out . If there is something else I could have done or some other product I could have used to stop the silvering effect please tell me as I would be very grateful as the information would help me achive better results in the future thank you for your help John

        John other than decal solvent theres not much else you can do for those older decals. If you're trying to put decals down over a flat finish its even harder to get them to behave. I usually spray a gloss coat down then set the decals ,after they dry you can top coat them with matt clear or dullkote. Still a great looking Gustav with a unique finish,very nicely done Sir!
