Decals and 2pac clear

[faza]

Making my son a power supply for his guitar pedals and would like to put a few decals on it and then have the local panel beater clearcoat it for me.
Can anyone recommend clear ink jet or laser sticker paper that would be OK to clearcoat.
Thanks

Used to buy mine from the copier company but they dont seem to be around anymore 
These look reasonably priced but havent bought from them before http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221043570033&fromMakeTrack=true

I printed water slide with standard ink jet printer.. the clear didnt affect the ink at all even with using All purpose thinners to thin back.
problem with vinyl based decals is that the clear affects the glue and so you can get a rippling along the edges of the decal.
Your sprayer needs to do a fine mist coat first and then apply the finish.Issue here is that most dont want to do this as its 2 applications and so just go straight in with a heavy coat.
even acrylic crystal clear from a can affects the glue on decals.
KBS Diamond coat is guaranteed not to react with any other paint.. which it doesnt. havent used it on a  vinyl application yet though.. maybe i should experiment and find out?

Unfortunately KBS does react with the glue on decals, I found out the hard way 

Point to note though, I didn't spray it, hand applied.  As you said it rippled some of the decals along the edges.

Thanks guys have just ordered clear laser water slide decals

Make sure its 100% dry before applying the clear or it will mist up and go cloudy. If this happens, you may never get it out again without stripping right back again. Hope your sprayer uses retarder to thin back, it helps eliminate the clouding
