Sharpie safe clearcoat?

I had Weird Al sign the inside of my chest armor. Before I wear it again (next week) I was hoping to put something over it to seal it so it wouldn't get marred off. I tried putting some Sharpie onto a scrap and spraying polycrylic over it, but it streaked.

Anyone know a good product to protect sharpie on ABS?

i protected his signature on my vader helmet with rustoleum crystal clear enamal. dont spray it too heavy and your ok. i also protected matthew woods signature on mom's TX the same way. do a few light coats (enough to seal the sharpie), then when its dry, i sprayed one nice heavy coat to give it that smooth glossy look.

Thanks for the tip. I'll pick some up and try another test tonight.

yep crystal clear is designed to seal art work, ie, water colors, charcoal pencil, among others. great stuff.
