Need spraying & Decal advice.
I have ordered a set of decals for the old DT 250 and i've finished spraying the tank. The paint on the tank has now got the orange peel look, what i need to know is can i get rid of the orange peel on PAINT by fine sanding and buffing - then put the decals on, or do i spary laquer on - polish, then put the decals on and re laquer?

Just a light flat with 1500 should do it, colour sand and polish the clear coat the same way afterwards

Re: Need spraying & Decal advice.
Just be careful you dont go through the base coat, any flaws in the base coat are a lot harder to correct than flaws in the laquer
