Thank You all!
Doug Fattic, you have cleared it up! I figured that clear over Decals was "buried" when in fact that is just clearcoated, which a lot of production bikes have had for longer than I realized (thanks, MonkeyMan).
"Buried" as Doug has described is a beautiful thing, no decal edge, great "depth", thanks for taking the time to explain.
