For what your doing, get creative, why the hell not, really. But in the end, to keep her safe and her stickers, I'd do about three coats clear. Add the stickers. And do another three to four coats clear over that. Sand inbetween coats.
1) how many coats of paint?

2) so paint it with a few coats, then add a few coats of clear on top to protect the paint from the stickers?

3) if I put the stickers on, then clear coat on top of that, and I sand between coats, won't that muddy the clarity of the stickers?

(get the impression I'm NOT a painter by any shape of the imagination )


I might have to do the coats on top of the stickers later, once I'm reasonable sure I've got most of them....
