Re: Clearcoating Vinyl

Talk about cutting corners... What exactly is the clearcoat going to bond to on the vinyl? I'd suggest you don't try it.

Re: Clearcoating Vinyl

Yes! Several of my customers clear coat the brake calipers after installing the caliper decals. I also make decals for a guy who makes fuel rail covers and sells them. He paints them with the GM color of the car, applies my decals, then clears over the entire thing. They look great.

Decals can be cleared over without issues from what I have seen

Yep i clear coat over every vinyl decal i can on my car. Just so that way they won't come off. Its the best method i've found.
