    Hey guys,

    Anybody ever seal a decal or sticker they placed on their truck? For instance the punisher 4x4 sticker I have in the photo, every letter is a separate sticker, any clear sealants that could be used to kind of apply a clear coat over the entire sticker so that no pieces or edges peel up?

    Thanks

    I've had vinyl decals similar to that for a couple years now with no issue. They have some small details and have withstood MN winters and look like the day I put them on. Personally haven't heard of a sticker sealer but maybe someone makes it. What is keeping the sealer from running onto the paint? Would it look weird? What happens if you want to take the decal off?

    Yeah thinking the same that's why looking to see if anybody has done something of sorts before. Don't want to mess the paint up or have a foggy cloud effect covering the decal.
