Geoff, I do recommend that you do use clear lacquer before toner. I would spray about three coats of clear and sand. The idea is to have a smooth surface before you before you begin spraying the toner because you must not sand the toner. If you sand the toner, you will have an uneven color. After the toner, apply your decal and clear coat.
Radio Daze DCL-PH8 would be the correct decal for your radio.
