Well they say on laundry labels always to check for colour-fastness.

I was having a lovely time placing decals on my EL class when I decided to call it a night. Before finishing up I applied my decal-setting solution on the work I'd done already. That was when the trouble started.

It seems that my blue paint, Tamiya XF-8 Flat Blue doesn't like decal-setting solution. So it ran. What a disappointment.

Here is the EL's latest status, without the yellow lining (or the big decal on the back, not that I'll let you see that).

Furthermore, I stuffed up the long decal CFCLAustralia... and the other side was completely ruined.

Oh well... it looks good from a distance...

Perhaps in hindsight I ought to have sprayed it with a gloss paint then decalled, then sprayed with a dull cote type paint. We live and learn.
