Decals first then clearcoat. The clearcoat seals and prevents the decals from being scratched off!

just a suggestion but when you slap yer decals on try puttin another clear coat on and that'll keep em nice and on, you wont even see the lines around them

i've been busy hacking my Skyline to bits..... windows were cloudy due to some inferior tape so i took them out, vents were filled in 'cos i thought they looked better like that (they didn't) so now they're big fat vents.... made a custom spoiler which is about 1/2 size of the car.......
it's all very silly looking. just need me some mesh and my airbrush and we'll be sorted!

Clear hood! Excellent idea!
I think I may do that to the next bodyset I buy. I really like the Skyline body, maybe I'll get that one. Right now I just have 3 Celicas (since I drive one).
