Hi Folks-
While waiting for new rings to come in for the '73 850 I decided to get off my duff and prep the bodywork for paint. I've used a urethane primer and am going with base coat/urethane clear. My question is: Should one apply the transfers over the clearcoat or apply the transfers to the base and clear over them? I think this would give a superior look to the overall project, as the clear could be blocked and given more coats to smooth out the bodywork. I've done several bikes with lacquer (Dating myself, ain't I?!?) and then single-stage acrylic enamels with isocynate hardeners but this will be the first with base/clear. If anyone has experience with this please let me know.
Many thanks.
