Rocky,

just suggesting that you experiment on test samples with the clear coat. 
Actually the clear vinyl overlay sounds the smartest, but will be the 
trickiest to do.

I found both bad and good reports of clear coating the carbon fiber Di Noc, 
so I chose not to.

good luck with it, let me know how it goes please.

Armand
