Painting the shell requires drying time, so I started working on something else in the meantime, and it happened to be a BMW again. 😉

Presumably a good-enough decal softener will help against silvering, where silvering is air tapped under the decal because of the rough texture of the painted surface.
Solvaset = stronger decal softener
MicroSol = default decal softener?

After applying a decal softener, the decals MUST NOT be touched, even if it starts looking wrinkly. The wrinkles all disappear after a while.

One thing I like to do after airbrushing on primer and also paint, is to gently go over with sanding sponge, but never over edges as that will surely removed paint off the plastic, but large flat surfaces are typically safe to sand down very gently, to create a more flat surface. For this to work, it is important that the base layer, the primer paint, is sanded flat first, else the uneven primer paint will show through the paint layer, if you only sand the paint layer on top.

I'm using Tamiya Mark Fit Super Strong. Just apply the softener to the surface of the decal and after a couple of minutes, gently press it onto the surface with a cotton swab. If the decal is not welded, then it may fall off in pieces along with the varnish 🙁 .

Love the use of UV resin on the logo badges, an idea I'll use from now on many thanks

That's awesome! But how did you fix silvering? The end result looks perfect.

@D P - It's simple. I painted leveling thinner with a paint brush. 😉

But why did you copy the grille in transparant?

I have Fujimi M3, and since the grill quality on this product is terrible, I thought I might be able to apply it, so I copied it.
