Hi all, I'm back with more issues on my grave digger kit. I painted the body fine but too many curves in the body threw me off with the decals and they're super wrinkled. I'm hoping someone knows a way to straighten them out a bit. It's my son's favorite monster truck so I'm going for perfect but the kit is over 13 years old and I keep hitting snags. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you ever used MicroSol and MicroSet? The stuff is pretty miraculous. Just follow the directions on the bottles.

What Alex said.
Just don't panic when the Sol starts to work, as the decals may go very crinkly for a while and become very fragile. They should dry OK though.

Yea they can't get any worse than they are lol. I don't know who designed them for grave digger but they weren't meant for the curves of the truck

So I picked some up today, since the decals are already applied do I just use step 2?
