Varnishing

[Neil]

The current build is a Lightning, the next stage is decals but the colours now are gloss black for the tail and aluminium - also gloss

If the colours are already gloss, do I really need a gloss varnish coat? I know it is for the decals to seat better but does it matter if the paint is already gloss?

[Mr Bowcat]

When I'm building cars I don't gloss before adding decals, as the paint is already a gloss finish.
