I just finished painting my custom HMM Zero and pulled out the HMM schneider stickers I saved.... but I wanted to know what the best way to apply them is - just drag them over, coat them with something...? It's only the two 'ZERO' stickers I'm putting on his shoulders (simply out of preference), I would just like to know they'll stay stuck since I haven't tried this before
Can anyone help?

The best way I found to apply decals also requires a top coat for the kit. I use a bit of clear flat as "glue" on the location of the decal. Slide the water decal off as normal and remove as much excess water as possible, then apply it to the clear paint. I have started using Testor's decal set rather than just water. Once it dries you can brush another layer of clear flat over the top, or decal sealer. Once all of that is done I give the kit a nice, light coat of Krylon's flat clear (Preserve It! also works) ... it is the ONLY clear flat spray paint I've seen that is actually not glossy. In the end, your decals look a bit like this: I know... it's a fuzzy pic, but hopefully it conveys the idea.

oh okay, thanks Maethius! I'll have to look around what I have as it's difficult to acquire other materials, but thanks
