I hope this helps you in your modelling endevors.

half true. Yes, it's bad to use decal over flat paint, and yes it will silver. but since CF decals usually cover a full surface and they don't have the transparent part on it, there will be no visible silver.
All my CF job have been done over duplicolor black primer (which is flat)
