    I didn't. Clear coat might cause the stickers to breakdown or smear. Not worth ruining an otherwise perfect paint job. Stickers can be easily replaced on top of the paint.

    It's come up recently. Here a link:

    I've gotta side with hornet (and racerx in the link) on this topic, . . . decals are cheap, good paint jobs are expensive.

    Just my 2 cents.
