Here's a trick that us plastic modellers use for applying water slide decals to our models that have a flat or low sheen finish. This also works for vinyl decals from Callie etc.
Apply a high gloss finish (sometimes 2 or 3 coats are required) to the area you wish to apply the decal and let dry.
Coat the surface you wish to apply the decals on with a spray of water with a couple of drops of detergent. Apply the decal and squeegee out any water ensuring that no air bubbles are present. Let dry for 24hrs.
Next apply a coat of flat finish over your newly applied decal......it will magically blend in and look like it was painted on.
Hope this helps.
