if you shot a coat of clear coat over the plastics would that help with the stracthing?

the black 450r s will look like the hoods on the red ones like mine I'm afraid to even rub hard because any little thing will scratch it easily.

I've been through all of this before, DO NOT put clearcoat on your plastic. It will peel, and chip. I used the best clearcoat money can buy, and put more than one coat on it, dont do it. I also sanded and preped the plastic, and sprayed in a booth. I can post pics of what the bike looked like after I clearcoated it (insane), and what it looks like now. It ruined the looks.

Oh and by the way, clearcoat scratches almost as easy as plastic, its just not as noticable and you can buff it out.
