That shouln't happen if they were automotive typs stickers. I used stickers off ebay on my Gulf paint scheme and had no trouble with any of them using 2 pack laquer, no special technique used at all :?

I have been laquering over the vinyl graphics I make with 2K for years, with no problem.

I always dust on a light coat first, but I do that to prevent build up on the edges at first (avoids runs).

Were they a paper backed sticker, or plastic?
