I wasn't happy at all with the decal, I printed it too dark (first attempt at decals) so I lightened the picture (overdid it a bit) and printed it on plain paper. I let the ink dry overnight then I sprayed the paper with Krylon crystal clear, 3 heavy coats, and let it dry for a week, then I spread a layer of Elmer's white glue on the back of the paper and rolled it in place on the building. Next was to let it dry for a couple of days. I added some more weathering to the building (a little black and brown and a little white for the cracks.) I let that dry for a couple of hours and sprayed matte finish on the whole thing. Add a EG&E car and it makes a nice spot.
