use google? i would have given you an answer after research but do some homework.

most probably you can and you cannot. not sure. we're in 2011, there must be a product for your application. but the clear coat my peel off aswell after some time

Sounds like a cool idea. Finding something to hold up against the heat may be tricky. Good luck.

if you use high heat clear you should be fine.

If a valve cover painted with everyday rattle can paint can withstand the temps with no issues and its actually connected directly to the engine, i see no issues using even a rattle can spray on clear coat let alone one sprayed by a body shop that is designed to withstand direct sunlight. You could opt for a brushed on polyurethane or something like that from a hardware store as well. It would be cheaper and may even be thicker.

This sounds like a cool idea. Why do you want to put a clear coat over the "stickers". To protect them from heat or fluids?

the heat from the engine bay would probably wear out the adhesive on the stickers quickly. mixed with weather conditions such as water splashing up and dirt from wind it wouldn't last long in there lol.

I used spray paint on my VC and cleared over the sticker thats on it too. It still looks good even after the VC gasket leaked oil all over the place.

thats actually a pretty unique idea. post up some piks and let us know where you get all the stickers. I'm planning to sticker bomb my front lip when i put it on but have no clue where to get all the stickers from. Only solution i can find is ebay.

thanks for all the help and of course i re searched on google but i did not see anyone with this idea thats why i want to be one of the first! i know i have seen someone with stickers everywhere but not clear coated to make it look shiny lol jk. but yea i want the clear coat so i can clean my engine bay easier and it will look alot cleaner instead of just random stickers!

Adding a clear coat over the top of the "stickers" will not change the adhesive properties. A clear coat would however help with fading and protecting these labels from fluids. It would also make cleaning easier. I think this is cool idea and can't wait to see a finished product.

Yea me either But first i will have to do my wire tuck! i think the hardest part is trying to get rid of my ABS! i dont really know how to do that but im sure ill figure everything out!

I have had stickers under the hood of my v8 s10. With no clear coat and they where perfectly fine. They only started peeling after about 4 years or so. But with some clear coat they would last a while longer I would think.

I cleared over the vin sticker in my door jamb when I painted my car and a day later the clearcoat lifted off the sticker completely. Stuck perfect all the way around it, but not to it. I don't think it's gonna work. Oh yea, the interior and paint code label too, neither held the clearcoat.

i have seen stickers all over the engine bay but the clear coat over stickers may take some research
