Man, whoever suggested to put this in a playlist is a god bro, this is so helpful, only when I saw 442nd decals I needed to know how to do it? This is the start of my journey :)
The Jonak toy’s recreation are a good place to start. I accidentally cut my first decal with the black lines so my figure looked rather weird. I would suggest trying AV figures after you get the hang of decals

I’m gonna start decaling as well, I ordered from jonak toys and thiccybrickie, I got sealant and I got tons of blank clones. Mainly I got 2020 style clones such as the 13th battalion in the video, also got 442nd siege troopers in the 2020 style, three each. Three each of their realistic counterparts as well. I won’t be starting with the 13th and 442nd, but however I’m going to start with the grey 41st elite trooper in the 2020 style, then 41st Assault in the 2020 style and realistic style 212th with no battle damage as my first decaled clones.

As someone from the Gunpla community this is like, basic training. I would buy these waterslides just to have people practice. And yes, I am a fan of LEGO as well.
Blueharvest bricks also ships to Australia I think

What is the spray for? And what exactly is it?

How long did it take to do 2 figs
Where can u get the plain white phase 2 troopers?
Well, I guess I would rather go with painting instead of decaling, because I am familiar with it (playing about 15 years Warhammer Fantasy) and you are more flexible. But in case you will build up an entire army consiting of several generous figure, decals should be better and way faster. My first project is going to be a Captain Vaughn with a modified Visor, a two-coloured jet pack and maybe some radio antennas on the helmet. But first I have to collect the parts, what is pretty tricky without credit card, if you have to buy in foreign countries.

At first i thought it would be a sticker you just put on the clone trooper but you have to use it like one of those kid tatoos and dip it in water and leave it to set on the figure
