After painting I usually do a light coat of clear to protect everything. After that dries, I will then do my decals, I use a decal solution, Solva-Set or Micro-Set, something like that, most any hobby shop will have this. It helps in decal application.

I then clear again after the decals have set and are dried.

Finished.

This is my method.

Default You will find that most do this different

I paint the figure and then put on decals, sometimes I put on a seal before decals but sometimes I don't. After the decals have dried I put on a coat of semi gloss on the whole figure and once that dries I use a gloss coat on the helmet only.
