Thank you! I am not going to apply another clear coat of clear after the decals. There are 2 reasons: in real life the decals/vinyl that is applied on to these sport cars dont get another layer of clear on top. So this should look more authentic in some way. Second, I don't want to risk ruining the decals since I heard of bad stories online. Im sure there are many safe products and methods to applying the clear without have any adverse effects but I just dont want to risk it on this project. Maybe I'll try it on my next model, whenever that may be.
BTW...there's no clear to begin with. I just polished the paint directly. One of the guys who does amazing work on this forum said he doesn't use a clear coat in any of his models, so I figure I'd give it a try. I have done clear coats on some of my models in the past, and sometimes it actually looks more "toy-like" cause it was overly shiny lol.
