ive used the hammerite clear stuff, it worked ok but need re doing every couple of weeks. it still developed rust eventually.
i liked having a bare bike, but the rust started getting everywhere. every time i touched the bike i would have rust all over me, whenever i parked it at someones house id have the clean the rust up when i left. it got annoying so i got it blasted and painted green.
im not convinced that a powder clear coat would attach all that well to a polished surface. i reckon it might hold alright but wouldn't be as good as a rough surface.
