I recently finished painting my revell integra type r and put on the decals. I was wondering if it is safe to spray it with clear coat after the decals have been applied.

i think for a smooth realistic result u need to spray clear coat after the decals so that u wont see the lines in the end result

Lay down several light coats. Typically Enamel and Lacquer clear coats will eat into decals if you put it on too thick. This can cause the colors to run, the decals to lift, warp, etc.. If you used an acrylic clear coat, it's a lot more forgiving. If you airbrush you can use future floor wax, slightly thinned with distilled water.

Thanks for the help. I guess i'll just have to do a light coat cause all i have is enamel.
