only thing I do to it is clean it with ammonia, then after its dried up I put on the water slide decal.
I put warm water with hand soap into a bowl and drop in the decal then drop some of the water onto the enclosure to make the decal easier to apply.

Once the decal is on I let it dry for a day and then put around 6-8 clear coats on it with a 10min. break between them.

Then I let it sit in the garage for a week before I finish the build off.

Its about the only way I make my pedals. I'm to lazy to do my own base colours ;)

I use a 500mL can of clear varnish I bought at a local car maintenance shop.
It's called Motip Clear Varnish and is acryl based.

I used a different brand from the local paint store but the decals would get damaged if you just looked at them.

With the Motip I haven't had this problem yet.
