Dry Transfers and Dullcote Question.

I have had good luck in the past putting them over a matte finish as well.  The extra "tooth" of the matte seems to help them adhere.  After that, clear coat them to the desired finish.

Much thanks guys.  Now I know I can apply a matte finish over them, and that they may stick better to a matte finish.

 

Thank You!

My experience with dry transfers is that, while they will work with either, I usually get better results applying them over a matte finish.

No need to gloss or dullcoat beforehand as long as the paint is secure. Having no carrier film to create silvering makes the application of these easier than watersllide in some applications, such as this. Just determine the final sheen of the shield and apply that after the transfer is in place. You should use some sort of clear coat to seal the transfer and give the shjield a unniform sheen.
