Seeing this pop up I thought I’d mention that one of my Stayer’s earlier life was with a clear coat. I think it was done at Aurum Finishing (ex Armourtex) so definitely not DIY money, but not crazy expensive either and well done and solid too. The bike was like that for a year or so only but was used extensively over that time. Good resistance to rubbing from frame bags as well.
