When to apply photo etched parts

[76vette]

Hello Everyone,

At what point in the painting process should I apply photo etched parts? (Before clear coat application or after)

'68 Vette...I've already primed, painted and clear coated the body. Should I go ahead and polish/wax and then add the PE emblems?

Also, for the interior: is there anything I need to do after I've installed the PE parts that would enhance the results?

Thanks for your time.

I'd say after you apply clear, so then it "seals" the PE in.
