for using brush to paint, i have tried many times with brush and recently seeing Bugatti EB11o in blue in our forum I scraped my welly EB110 of small scale and tried using acrylic paint but then also very faint brush strokes are visible so I scraped the car again and now I am trying some thing new, if it works I'll post it.simplest way is Buy an Airbrush at @1200.00 get an old refrigerator compressor for @1500.00 to drive it, and you can paint like professional.If anybody has idea about recreating decals please let us also know.

Amar i better say use some kind of tape or something that u can hide them and peel the tape to save them.

But sometimes problem comes with transparents stickers ..i better suggest we can replace them with some similar looking decals or try to replica from the people who make numberplate

thanks Ravi,nice idea but most of the times its not working because logo and model no. are mostly directly painted on body.
I have thought of going to sticker makers wo make stickers with the help of any picture on computer, I think they can reduce it to very small size almost similler to our decals. If it works I will updat here. thanks.

Amar sure ..would be helpful for us

just cover it up with a cello-tape and paint the rest of the body. it works, i have done it myself.

in case of a transparent sticker, paint over it - nothing will happen. (atleast this happened to my maisto GTR, don't know about the others.)

there is also another way of making stickers, get a sticker paper and print the logos from the net on it. then a nice cut & paste will do.
