I agree with the others, do not clear over the decals. My reasons would be it may take days to weeks, maybe even months for the decal to "cure" without anything over it, the glue may never cure if you clear over it. Also the edges of the decal will never look right to me any way when you paint over them. If you ever just look at someones work when painting if they have painted over (clear, paint whatever) decals, pin stripes etc it just looks like shoddy workmanship, and as you said you put all that work into prep, I know for sure you would be unhappy with yourself if you were to clear/paint over the decals. Post pictures please, I plan to do my 1450 one of these days... maybe you can get good enough with an airbrush to "paint/make" the decals, then you could clear over them without any objection from me !!
