MRP varnishes over decals?

So, I'm noticing that the label on MRP clearcoats is the same as the maker's other, pre-mixed lacquers.

 

Question...

 

Is it safe to apply MRP's clear-coat varnishes over microscale decals?

 

Don't want to destroy the markings trying to protect them.:wub:

I was wondering the same thing and will be fining out in the next day or two. I'll let you know how I do. I will be using Tamiya decals though.

I had a bit of a setback with the MRP gloss clear. I sprayed it over Zero Paints lacquer and the clear coat went hazy. It may have been my fault for not letting the color coat dry enough. I gave it 24 hours. If that was not the issue I don't know what to say about it. It may have been my technique too. I sprayed a couple of light coats to give it something to hold on to then went with a heavier coat to give it its gloss. I've ended up stripping the paint on the parts and will give it another go but maybe with a different clear coat. BTW this is on a 1/12 motorcycle kit.
