(three weeks later) more than a few clear coats today. probably enough to let cure before decaling.

only one more day of sun before a weeks worth of rain. i may spray again tomorrow. i haven't decided.

i'll see after i sand.

thank you all for your continued support.

the pics not uploading issue is one that seems to be unsolvable. after googling, i've found that it's a situation that others have also encountered that is hard to isolate and harder to fix. some have tried everything to no avail. some have tried one of the fixes that worked for someone else and the problem is solved. it appears to be related to the Flash Uploader whatever that is. one of the recommended fixes is to uninstall Flash and reinstall Flash. i tried that one and my problem remains. i dunno. it's a real drag though, and i can see it be being a real problem in the future.
 
Re: Painting and Finishing Experts...

Almost all guitar finishes are a Nitro-cellulose lacquer. Any oil base lacquer will spray or brush over this finish without lifting. It would help if you could provide the brand of guitar and the decal you are applying. Is the decal a waterslide type of decal? Or is it a self-adhesive type of decal? Either way if you apply the decal over your desired color then apply a number of clear coats over the decal it will protect the decal.
