Question: Clearcoat over Decal OK?

Hi. Question.

I'm considering applying a coat of VHT high temp clearcoat on top of a heat resistant decal on top of my painted calipers. Obviously this is a pretty harsh environment.

Anybody ever try anything like this? Any opinions on whether it would work?

I would worry about the paint adhering to the vinyl, might want to look into that before proceeding

Thanks all. If the decal starts to go I'll look into having a stencil made up from some of the extra decals and then paint it on.
