Help please?
I don't think so as there is a tremendous amount of heat needed and this would probably melt your decals. However, you can very easily have a frame powder-coated and then apply a clear-coat of your own on top of the decals. Krylon makes a pretty good clear-coat that is meant for plastics (which is what powder-coat essentially is) and I applied it on top of my Ciocc decals and it has been great so far.
I have had about 5 bikes powder-coated now and it is a pretty easy process and the results have been great for me. There is a guy here in Toronto who strips the frame down to bare metal and coats it for $75. Google Jet-Kote if anyone in T.O. needs to have it done.
