question ? i painted the inside with the purple, and the decals are on the outside, should i put some type of clear coat on the outside to seal the decals? if i do, would i have to tape off the windows ? they are clear and i would like to keep them that way. also should i put any clear coat on the inside to seal the paint? sorry for all the questions but this is my first and I'm not sure what i should do !

it's a vinyl decal. the flames on the side are auto decals, but they worked nice for this application.

I've painted a few myself and would not suggest spraying over the decals with a clearcoat. Not only will it eventually get beaten up (Unless its a shelf queen) but the ink on the decals may not hold up too the clearcoat and may actually "shrink" or "run" from the chemicals in the clearcoat. When it comes to the inside most people put a white or black topcoat to "seal" the color on the inside. I've had good luck both with and without the topcoat. Nice Paintjob!!!
