OK, conflicting info. I am going to give the MIG line a try. In the past, top do decals for a flat finish, I would first lay down clear gloss, then decals, the another coat of gloss. After fully dried, light coats of flat. I contacted MIG up in Conn. about this, using their product and the guy I got an E mail back from said to use their clear varnishes instead. Now, just watched a U Tube with Jimeneze (?) showing some of their products and he said "NEVER" put gloss over the paint. So, its my question....Can I or can't I?? Any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know about everybody else, but I use clear gloss acrylic, then decals, then clear gloss acrylic over the decals. Then I use enamels over the gloss.
