I suggest you finish a scrap piece of wood the same as your cougar and test the clear over a spare decal before committing to your model. My experience has been that you can put anything over anything as long as you spray very light mist coats which is sometimes easier said than done. Its tempting to spray a wet coat, but that could easily eat your decals or cause them to curdle. The solvents in Klass Kote are fairly hot, so I wouldnt even think about spraying them over anything that I was concerned about without testing. I did spray it directly over an ABS cowl in a wet coat and it didnt cause any problems, but I would not do that with decals. If you want an absolute flat finish you can use the Klass Kote flat catalyst. If you want semi-gloss then you can mix some gloss catalyst with the flat and mix the result with the Part A (paint).
