The trick is more than 5 light fog coats…… also those rattle can clear coats will NOT prevent fuel from ruining your decal and paint.
Automotive clear with activator/hardener is the only way that I know of to protect the decal and paint…. I am sure there are others, but when I want the decal safe for years…2-4 coats of automotive clear with hardener and it will outlast me and my kids…
The fog coats keep the clear from "burning" thru the decal and paint……The clear actually burns and softens the base coat giving it its adhesion, too much and it will bubble and just pain ruin your hard work…more than 2 very light fog coats help seal with burning too much…Clear needs time to "flash" before next coat…
Hope this helps..
