bobafett4ever Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hello. While watching some videos on assembling the TB helmet, one person said to put a lacquer over the helmet stickers so they don't peel off or get scrapped off. Have any of you done that and if so, what did you use? I used some lacquer on my tote box and it turned yellow and looked bad, IMHO. I sure don't to put something on my helmet that will either discolor it or look like I added something to cover the stickers. Thanks for any input.

Chopper Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If you're using adhesive stickers, I would not put lacquer over them -- there's no need. The adhesive on the sticker is usually enough, plus if you need to replace them, you can just peel them off. If you're building a RS helmet and are using the provided water slide decals, then yes, I would clearcoat over them -- these can get scratched off. I suspect the builder was talking about waterslide decals, as those can be somewhat fragile without a top coat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobafett4ever Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Perfect - thanks. Yes, this is an SC kit and has vinyl decals. I'm not sure which Youtuber I was watching, but it's possible his decals were painted or something different, so that may be why he recommended lacquer. I appreciate the help!
