is suggest a clear laquer.
i have used the stuff from halfords on brake rotors and works really nicely.
only thing is that if it cracks and water gets in it will go cloudy and or start to lift which is a pain.
powdercoat or paint is the options i would look at if it were me

thats alot of bike for £1300
here's a blacked out blade at a show in Sydney
the guy must have shares in a powder coating company
photos dont do it justice
very low and mean with kinda old school but military look
when you think of other models you might do on a cheap find - probably wouldnt turn out this good (faired bikes sometimes hide a lot of complicating junk)
