Hi,

I'm painting an old Battaglin steel frame, and I was wondering if anyone had reccommendations for a good clear rattlecan topcoat to use. I don't have access to a spray booth or compressor. Something that I could spray over the decals without destroying them, and something that would also be durable.

I've used automotive clear acrylic lacquer in the past, but I had problems with it softening on the top tube from my legs brushing against the paint.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
