Default Lacquer or clear vinyl.........

Well after having my helmet signed by JT at yesterdays egg run in sheffield, im looking at getting it either lacquered or putting some vinyl over the top to keep it looking nice.

Can anyone recommend a place that will lacquer over the top of it, or maybe someone who can supply perfectly clear vinyl (non cloudy) to put over the top?

Ive been told to be very careful with lacquering it as it may run and make a mess of it?

Cheers.

to laquer it it will need to be keyed, probably with grey scotchbrite. Which may rub off the ink if he signed it with marker.
