Brownie,
I use the model clear. It is made by model master and is super on decals and paints. It is a lacquer but not a real hot lacquer as some auto. clears. It is called wet look clear. I am hook on the stuff.
There are alot of others out there so all I can say is try some of the others on plastic parts like old model parts to see what you like.

It never hurts to test first!!! Some paints just don't like each other, as you can see!!!

I use thet Testor's Glosscote and/or their clearcoat over paint. Once I've clearcoated bodies, I'll add decals then use Future to cover the decals and give them some protection. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Can you spray the clear over the decals?

Some clear coats are not decal friendly. It's always best to test on an un-needed part of the sheet.

That is why I have become a Future-holic. ;) I have yet to see it craze ANY paint OR decals. It goes on with an airbrush straight up, or you can pour it in a tupperware tub, dip the body and seal the tub and use it over and over. If you really want to spray but don't have an airbrush, you can actually use a windex spray bottle and it will self-level itself. Not to mention the fact that it will give you a tough, glossy shine as good if not better than any other clearcoat on the planet.

Kinda hard to beat it for ease of use and shine.
