I did a few pairs of mine with meths (the purple kind). There really wasnt any purple visible in the end. I got the shellac from atlantis, but its probably in most art stores. I remember it needing lots of coats to look good.
I had my bars harlequin wrapped blue and yellow (surprise) for ages. The yellow got dirty really quickly though, but I was more interested in keeping the colour than shellacing it for protection.
This was my first attempt (Shellac with white tape)
