Decal Paper/Ink [was:setting solution] options

the brake wheel staff on this CCC&StL gon is too long
I enlarged the brake wheel area, fiddled with brightness/contrast and ended up with this. I am also of the opinion the long object above the brake shaft is some sort of tool, possibly a broom handle?

Make Your Own Decals (was Tichy Decals)
Dave North, You need to apply a layer of V Photo Primer between the white layers if you’re using a MD-5000 or MD-5500. If you have a MD-1000 or 1300 you should use a pass of finish between layers. And

David, Dulux gold is a very difficult color to get right. Once upon a time the Kodak version of the Alps printer had a process orange that, when yellow was layered over, gave a really nice dulux. But
