Subject: [CR]question on clear coating decals

Dear List Members,

I have a question about clear coating decals. I recently applied decals to a Cinelli Model B restoration. I use the term restoration loosely. The bike is a rider, and I finally re-"painted" with epoxy powder coat when the total area of the chips exceeded the total area of remaining paint. I have put on waterslide decals from H Lloyd Cycles of Penrith, UK, and want to clear coat the area. H Lloyd says to use oil-based varnish (others will ruin decals), but I am not sure how that works on Epoxy powder coat. Anyone out there use any decal-specific clear coats or fixatives and have any advice?
