Testors lacquer clear coats are my go-to for use over enamel.  I am not sure why it works, but it does.  Testors did make some enamel clearcoats, but they had some problems, like very long dry times, and I see them disappearing from hobby shop shelves, but the lacquers are always with us.

Gloss clearcoat before decalling. Which is the best? You will get a lot of different opinions. This something you need to figure out for yourself.

What is the best clearcoat to use over a flat enamel? Acrylic, enamel or lacquer? Also, do the polishes and micro mesh work on all of these clearcoats?
