Hi Tanner, Not having attempted such a repair myself and not knowing the particulars of the existing color and clear paints (automotive vs non-automotive, bc/cc vs ss/cc, catalyzed vs uncatalyzed color, exact clear product, etc), I do not have a recommendation that I feel comfortable with. If it were mine, not knowing the above, I would proceed to strip the entire part, re-color and re-clear from the beginning. It could even be a lacquer clear, in which case I think it probably should be stripped anyway. In other words, a Rustoleum base with a rattle can lacquer clear is not worthy of much effort in attempting a blend repair, in my opinion. I am also curious how you were able to cut through the clear to pull the decal without damaging the color film at the cut line. I am trying to think how I would proceed if I wanted to remove a decal that was cleared over. At first blush, I guess I would simply strip the entire part and start over rather than attempting to remove just the decal and blending some kind of repair, even with known materials to begin with. In any event, good luck with your fix, however you decide to proceed. Rod
