One way: use a pigment_map to constrain the image_map to the area of the 
decal, scale/translate/rotate the image_map to fit, and leave the rest a 
transparent texture. Make this a texture layer on your object.

Did you put the image_map in it's own texture{...} block? Otherwise, I 
think you are just modifying the original texture, not creating a new 
one and layering it onto the object.
