Applying Decals Over Painted Parts

[Jar Jar]

Hello all, I've recently been interested in Minifigure Customisation, have been wondering if you can apply decals over painted parts.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and could tell me if this worked out, or if not.

Thanks. :)

Depending on which type of paint and decal you are using, most properly finished/painted projects will take both a sticker and a water decal rather well.

If you want to take the extra step, you could even go with a clear coat over top of the sticker to help out.

I tried it with old Warhammer decals (pictures coming soon).

It worked well, even coating it with a layer of clear matte paint. I had to do this because Warhammer decals are very sensitive, they might fall of otherwise.

However,if I look closer I can see tiny "irregularities" at some of the stickers edges. This might be due to the fact that my decals were very old. Also I applied many small decals to a small area, It might look better with less and smaller decals.
