I want to start doing my own decals again and wanted some advice on decal paper. Can anyone tell me what waterslide decal paper they recommend. I use a HP Officejet Pro printer at the present time if that helps. Also as soon as I can get up enough money again I have a HP LaserJet 2820. Thanks for your time.

I use the Testor paper too and, like Harry, I tend to use the white more than the clear. If you do use the clear remember to do 2 of everything so you can "stack" them to cut down on body color bleed through. You can use the white on other colored cars but have to trim the decal right up to the image to eliminate the white "halo". For coating I was using Krylon clear but the can I have is old and I'm afraid of it "yellowing", for now I'm just using Testor's decal coat. Good luck!
