Clearcoating the frame - painting advice

Hello,
Recently I bought a nice 'cross frame. I noticed that the paint job, although nice, is very prone to scratches so I decided to clear coat it. Can someone tell me how I should go about clear coating? I know, I have to wipe tha frame clean with the alcohol and handle it with rubber gloves, but I m curious about the number of layers of clear coat that I need to apply. Do I need to sand-paper the clear finish lightly between the coats or I can just keep applying certain coat after coat every 30 or 30 minutes? How helpful are clearcoats anyway when it comes to protecting the frame?
Thanks.
