You need fine scotch pad the entire surface, apply the sticker using a water spray, leave it for a couple of days, a warm environment would be good, to let all the air and moisture out and then lacquer over. This is how mine was done.

i use grey scotch all over use panel wipe to degrease, then use a tack rag to lift all the fine particals from the panel,personally i put mine on dry using a plastic spreader then you can paint over straight away.

I did a honda tank by putting the colour on followed by 2 coats of laquer I let the laquer dry then grey scotched it then applied the honda wings wet this allows you to move and position the stickers when in position smooth out the water from under the stickers with a soft plastic spreader this way you dont get dont get air bubbles then clean of with pre clean then carry on laqureing
