Can your vinyl lettering be clear coated or painted? If so, what is the procedure?

As far as the clear coat goes: The manufacturer does not recommend it.

That being said, everybody does it. I have been telling body shops for years not to clear coat over stripes and graphics. Hardly ever though is there a problem – when they do mess up, the clear coat “pops” off the vinyl. Most body shops never have a problem. But I don’t know how they do it.

Have another question about decals, signs, lettering,
or stripes?
