| Post subject: | Clear Coat Decals? |
I have put the RB decals on my '72 H2, and they came out very nicely. I was intending to have a clear coat put over them next week. I was wondering what the thoughts are regarding clear coating over vinyl decals. What are the pros and cons? |

I've used SprayMax 2K over decals successfully. I mist a couple of coats first to check the reaction. No issues with peeling or bubbling yet. |

A agree about Spraymax 2K. I don't know of any cons with putting clear over decals, but I know some cons about not doing it. |

I will be having it professionally done by the same person that painted the body parts. I was just curious if anyone might have a reason not to. |

The only thing to consider is to let the fresh decals sit for a while, (2-3 days) B4 the clear coat. Just an extra security. And any good painter will put on a light coat or two B4 heavier film builds. Rick's decals are just about fool-proof.... |

The decals have been on awhile. My painter is busy and it will be a week before he gets to me. He told me he lightly scuffs the current paint and decals, then puts on 2 light coats. He then follows with a few standard coats of clear. |
