                        No issues with clear coat  over decals. Just don't overspray the clearcoat on the decals. I've had instances where too much clear coat will wrinkle decals, especailly if it's a lacquer or enamel clear coat. Make sure the decals are dry and well set. Make short, quick passes with the can.

                        Question about Tamiya paint and decals

                        I painted a car body with Tamiya gloss black from a rattle can. Went on beautifully!!! Decals? I plan on decaling it then clearcoating it with Tamiya clear from a rattlecan. Any known issues with clear over decals? This is the first time I have worked with Tamiya gloss paints. Any prep prior to spraying the clear? Normally I would just forge ahead but after a catastrophy with a previous car body I will check prior to leaping off the cliff.  Thanks ,Greg.
