Thanks Iride! Time is on my side. Not in a rush at all as I have several bikes to ride. It's just a fun project for me. I've spent 6 weeks so far to get to this point. I just would prefer not to wait 3-6 months for full curing process to take place if not necessary. As for decals, they are vinyl. I plan to put one I'm not using on aluminum can and applying clearcoat to test it out first to ensure clear coat is compatible with vinyl. Thanks.
