applying decals

[Tomo_Rep.97]

spraying my dash strips gloss black but I'm applying the airbag decal, how would I go about doing this? Apply the decal before lacquer? Or lacquer and flatten and rubbing compound to bring to shine, then another coat of lacquer over applied decal?

Same question for the head knob insert too?! Thanks
