Do you apply the decal before or after dipping? |

Before, so it gets "weathered" along with the mini. |

Thanks, thought so but didn't want to waste decal if I was wrong. |

Unless it's shields, then you want to apply afterwards. The dip will often pool along one edge or end of a flat, smooth surface like a shield, obscuring the decal in a strange looking way. |

I would try both and see which one you like best. If you put the decal on first, the shield may end up looking a bit muddy. If you dip first, the shield may look too bright compared to the rest of the figure. I put the decals on first, but after dipping I make sure no dip is pooling on the shield. |
