Alclad Candy Lacquer Question

[W-409]

Ok, there are already many topics about these paints, but none of the ones I found answered my questions.

So for a current project I think I'd like to go with a candy red paint job, and I'd like to try the Alclad Lacquer paints. Obviously I need the base color like all candies, but my main question is about clear coating the paint job after applying decals.

So, which clear coat do you guys recommend? I see Alclad Aqua Gloss and Klear Kote Gloss are both available, but which one of these would be better for this application? My main concerns are if the clear coat will react with the decals (of course probably all clear coats react with decals if you spray it way too thick right away, but of course I need to start with a couple of light coats). And do these clear coats have the annoying yellowing, like some of the Enamel clears that will turn yellow over time? And last, do those clear coats polish up nicely, because eventually the paint job will need to be polished anyway.

 

Hopefully someone who has more experience in these can help me out with these questions. Thanks in advance!

Anyone? I bet someone has used these paints before.

Or do I have to start experimenting...

From my experience the  Klear Kote Gloss gives a shinier finish. A true Candy Apple Red needs a gold base color
