definatly put the stickers under the clearcoat.. I wish I had done that every time i wash mine and haft to pick little fuzzies off the cornors of the decals.your bike warrents a 1500+ job i just want one color and i want to put some decals on myself and then a clear coat. Definately not 1100 bucks worth of painting i dont think.
I hear the painter has to be very careful about doing that though.. something about the sticker glue causing reactions in the clearcoat..
sounds like that could screw the whole deal.
