I would appreciate any comments on how to achieve a proper appearance for application of decals on a wood model. I am wanting to achieve a weathered, matte finish. This is a trial picture that demonstrates a shiny appearance of the decal on the matte finish. I obviously do not like this appearance and would like to see the decal blended into the wood better, without the shiny, stuck on appearance. I have painted and weathered the wood and then applied a matte spray finish. I then applied the decal and used Microsol to try to soften the decal. Any input on how to achieve a better result is appreciated. Thanks b dylan.
