    Clearcoat brands in Australia for spraying over vinyl decals?

    Hello folks
    I have just cleared over my vinyl headstock decal with rustoleum clear gloss, which caused the edges of the decal lift very slightly. It looks ok, but could have been a mess. Next project will have a large custom decal on it, and I want a deep clear on top. It needs to be hard too! I have used cabots poly clear with some success but haven't tried it on the vinyl decals. What are people using for the high gloss finishes?

    I have used/am using Dulux Duramax clear gloss, they also have 2k clear but in very small amounts (125g)

    I've been recommended SCA acrylic clear by Phrozin. Sometimes he uses it to do paintjobs. I highly recommend checking out his work, it's incredible.

    I too have used Dulux Duramax clear gloss and White Knight Acrylic over a decal but not vinyl.

    I recall ages ago a forum member did a whole vinyl sticker over the whole guitar body. It was a black and white union jack over an SG. not sure what clear coat he used over the sticker, maybe PM him.
