Decaling Advice Needed

All - I recently sprayed a body with decanted Tamiya lacquer. The finished body had some light orange peel and a few dust bits so I went over the entire finish with Micro Mesh polishing cloths up to 8000 grit. Orange peel and dust particles are now gone and finish is very smooth.

My question is: Can I apply decals to this smooth 'flat finish' body before I apply the clear coat? Or should I add a couple of coats of clear and then decal and clear again?

I know decals over a flat finish is a no-no, but does the polishing cloth sanding process make a differences for decal application?

Thanks in advance,
Chuck
