That's the way I should have gone. Live and learn. They wouldn't hug the zimmerite surface in spite of applying them with micro set. I thought dullcoat would minimize the problem, and it does somewhat under average light conditions, but under bright light and the eye of the camera, well you get the picture.
Handpainting over zimmerit is one solution, in which case you are best off modelling a specific vehicle from a photograph. You can also blank out spaces for markings before applying the stuff. I have seen this effect in photos. Use masking tape cut to size -- apply the tape, spread on the zim, remove tape, paint, apply decals to flat areas; irregular pieces of tape can also be used like this to simulate missing (knocked off/shaken off) pieces of zimmerit.
