Mike, like others have posted, you can clear coat over top, but it will look "shiney". Most decals I have used indicate not to put anything over top of it, so not sure how the mylar vs. vinyl cut will react to the solvents in the enamel (clear coat).
I shouldn't post this, as 99% will roll their eyes. But for reasons that were valid at the time, I did a TS Varspar rattle-can repaint on a tractor. I also used mylar decals. I used that tractor this summer for shows. Got lots of compliments, and I hesitate to say, I like the patina of the slight paint "fade". in fact, I would venture that akyloid rattle can paint is probably closer to the factory paint than the high end epoxy or uerathane enamels used for auto body work.
So, in the end, it is your tractor, do as YOU want. You will never beat the durability of the auto quality paints and a clear coat. Only down side, it is SHINEY! I have seen some stunning tractors with the high quality paint jobs. Good to see you posting, and again, thanks for your service to our country!
