Quick Clear Coat Question

[Ocelot]

Not truck related, but for the painters out there I have a question about clear coat.

I've been a wood artist for years and only occasionally use clear coat. Does anyone know if clear coat can go on top of decals?

I laser printed some lettering on clear vinyl label stock for a sign my sister requested. I don't make signs and didn't want to paint the script letters. I have a can of Duplicolor Clear coat.

I was thinking I would put a coat of clear, apply the lettering, and then a top coat of clear for a better match of the gloss so the sheen would be consistent over the label.

I'm not a painter, but if they're quality vinyl letters, they can. You see it ALL the time on motorcycle tanks. They clear over them to protect them from fuel.

Cool, thanks!

You'll need quite a few coats to match the thickness of the decals but it can be done
