Finishing a natural metal finish (alclad 2)

Do know aobut the paint, but that is a pretty cool Vader avatar.

dahut has this at the bottom of his posts, its as funny as yours is cool;

I have only done one aircraft in Alcad, and did not future before applying my decals.  I had no issues with the majority of my decals- National markings etc. went on just fine.  However I did have some minor silvering with some of the tiny stencil decals.   The next time I do a plane in Alcad I think I am going to use future to set any stencils.

 By coincidence I am working on a P38-J also.  Have not decided if I am going NMF or if I am going to do a gray\olive drab bird.

A little OT, sorry, but what the heck is "silvering"? I have seen this mentoned many times here, but I don't know what it is. Can you describe it, or post a pic?

Silvering occurs when there is an air pocket under the decal. Makes the clear portions look silver.

There is normally no need for a clear coat over Alclad for decals.
