Best Clear Coat over large decals

[gpal]

Hello, I am goiing to be using Tamiya Ts-49 Lacquer spray paint in a can for the first time on this large 1//25 scale box truck model. Can I put decals right on over the lacquer paint job? What would be a good clear coat over the decals and lacquer paint? I heard Tamiya TS-13 clear can damage the decals.  I want the finished paint to have a nice clean gloss finish.

Thanks in advance ,George

I suggest staying with the same paint product if at all possible. I have had no issues with Tamiya TS-13 over decals myself. Be sure that the painted surface is already color sanded and polished as smooth as possible before applying the decals and the clear paint for best results.

I think most have damage when spraying over decals because they try to use a too heavy coat. Like all other paints the first two coats should be misted on.

I like Mr Super Clear over decals, I've never had it wrinkle them.

As already stated by others, you should generally try to use the same brand/type of clear as the paint itself. However, TS-13 Clear is well known to ruin some decals. If possible try to test on a spare decal from the same kit. Always give the decals ample time (weeks) to fully dry and set before clearcoating them.
