Default Cowl decal cover-over

I am gonna put several decals on the cowl and also am gonna draw lines onto the cowl for panel markings. I tried using masking tape and drawing a line beside the masking tape with a extra fine point sharpie and it look great. However, what product do I use to seal the cowl, so the markings and the decals don't go away. The cowl has been sprayed with 21st century paint, and 21 century doesn't seem to have a finish clear coat available.

Any help appreciated,
Joe

I've used clear LustreKote over 21st Century paint with no compatibility problems.

LusterKote clear, Ultracote clear or water base polyurethane will all do a fine job of clear coating. Water base poly is definitely good to 10% nitro and various reports indicate no problems with 15% nitro. A plus to the water base poly is that it will not yellow with age.
