Thank you all for the comments.

It’s time to move onto the cab since I cut the cab down and did a lot of sanding I lost some rivets want to replace the rivets  , I have never use any type of rivet decals .               My question is do I primer first then gloss coat or gloss coat then primer over it? 
any help is most appreciated.

thank you

To be honest, I never thought of the rivet details to be super "important" on these trucks. 

I actually think they are way too pronounced and noticeable, almost making it look like it is out of scale... 

Believe or not, I intentionally sanded them down so I don't see them very clearly. 

In addition, I usually polish the surface also and those rivets are painful to polish around (I end up stripping paint on the rivets during the polishing process anyway).

You can always go without them and I don't think it will make the truck anything less.

However, if you really want to restore the rivets, I suppose those rivet decals can be useful. 

My thinking is, you want to make sure your surface is all taken care first.  And this means you do want to get your primer applied and taken care the surface.

Then clear can be used to improve adhesive of the rivet decals. 

What I do not know is, how much you can polish once the base coat and clearcoat is applied on top of the rivet decals...
