"Will they mold around the rivets if done correctly?
Keep us posted on how that turns out.
As for the Micro-Scale decals, use their decal setting solutions only! Micro-Set first and Micro-Sol second (If needed). And by all means don't touch after applying the solution. The decal may seem to shrivel a bit but leave it alone until it dries, it will level out on its own.
Do I dull coat over them?
Yes, or whatever clear coat that you prefer.
