Might be worth leaving it a bit for the solvents to come out of the fresh paint, putting on the stickers and then puffing over with another coat of lacquer.

I'm doing Yamaha R1 Blue on my Quad over the easter holidays and I was going to leave it a week for the stickers.

I might just be over cautious though as the blue is a 3 stage paint and I don't want to mess it up by being hasty.
