Hi Matt,
I always use spray. I use the testors flat laquer spray which has always worked well for me.
It may not make any difference and I have never read the label, but I always use enamel paints. If you use acrylics just make sure the spray works OK for the kind of paint you use and spray a few very light coats so you don't get runs and drips. That will give you a really nice even coat.
ALSO... be sure to cover up/mask off all your clear parts. The laquer will totally cloud up these parts and that is not a pretty sight. You also will probably want to carefully remove the masks before the laquer totally sets up.

Post some pics when it is all done and good modeling,

Hi Matt

Once the decals are absolutely dry, it's also a good idea to wash the model carefully with a cotton-bud, or similar, to remove any residues of the decal softener and decal-adhesive, as these can sometimes react badly with a top coat.

Hope this helps
