I'm pretty sure I used an enamel...
It was high temp with Ceramic!!!
Whatever that means.
I tested it on an extra sticker I had, and it worked fine. I just did this last night. I'm working on the write up and pictures right now.
I'll double check what high temp clear I used... but not till tonight.

Duplicolor Enamel with Ceramic...that's what I used...
Maybe there was some kind of residue on the sticker..because the only place that crinkled up was where the sticker was..

I tested it on my left over color...
I poured it out on a pizza box, let it dry over night. put the sticker on and sprayed. Let that dry an hour before I did my calipers.
Looks great!
Looks great!

The G2 is Epoxy.
Once it cures, you can do just about anything to it. It's very resistant to just about everything.
The sticker and it are fine.
The sticker and Dupli-Color High Temp Enamel w/ceramic (good to 500 deg) is fine.
I will double check my clear coat paint tonight when I get home. I have no issues 24 hours later.

That's not even close to what I said...and this was my experience not the rule- - ->
My concern was with using an enamel clearcoat over the sticker..
If you read my post, I didn't put the stickers on over G2. I put them on powder coated calipers...and my concern was not with the sticker but with the clear-coat over the sticker..
But this was quite possibly an isolated situation, as many before me have done it successfully...

Now you've got it...but reefer-bob did a great job using the same paint so - - ->
I probably had my head up my *** when I did them..you'll probably be fine with the enamel...
