Correct Answer

This is intended behavior for decals in PV360. The decal takes on what ever material properties are under it. The only way to have control of the decal properties inside the rendering app is to use PhotoWorks.

    In most real life cases a Decal would be a label or printed-on-surface and would therefor have a thickness, so couldn't the decal be applied to a very thin body or surface to simulate that?
    
    Or at the very least, could the surface be split to match the decal size, any appearance removed from the split face, and then apply the decal?

    that is a horrible feature... defeats the purpose of a DECAL. Its not a decal if the material below it bleeds through. Guess i'll have to extrude a very thin feature off the surface, and do it the old fashioned way.. Thanks for the feedback
