Paul autographed my guitar- how can I preserve it?

[TedintheShed]

The man himself was at Sweetwater when I purchased my guitar. He was gracious enough to sign it (kind of like having a signed Jackson Pollock!). I could just order a new plastic part and have it replace the signed one, but I would rather keep it on if possible. He signed it in a kind of gold pen- here is a picture.

I'd like something to permanently clear coat it without damaging the signature.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ted

Remove the cover and spray it with clear spray paint. I used SEM clear spray from an auto parts store and had no issues.

A clear paint? Like a clear coat? Can you link an example please? I know some kinds will make the signature run, from what I read.

Thank you!

Clear coat will do it. I did 5 or 6 light coats on mine. I went with Testors Clear Coat spray can from the model section at Hobby Lobby. I figure if it's made to work on plastic models, it should be good for cavity covers.

The key is several light coats. The SEM paints aren't cheap, if the Testors model paint worked for Bodia, that would be less money. I had some SEM left over from a car project.
