I received the dry transfers from Clover House today, which was quick, along with with a nice thank you note.  

Sure enough, as MWB mentioned above, there is apparently a potential issue with using Testors Dullcoat over the transfers.  They mentioned specific examples of clear coats they tested and I ended up using the Krylon Matte Finish, which I had on hand. 

Here's the note they sent with the dry transfers:

Just a note on the suggested Krylon Matte Finish. Have a friend that's into model Military Diorama both for personal display and made to order. He said he was lucky when he ran out of his go to Matte rattle cans Rust Oleum and Testors, and found a can of Krylon Matte. After spraying the Krylon on a 145.00 1/18 scale Tank and drying he notice a whitish Mate finish. He then went to his odd and end box and used the Krylon Matte on them and the results were the same, a whitish like finish when dried. I won't use Krylon  after this but would suggest spraying a test piece first to make sure the Krylon is compatible with the finish.
