(Of course I sprayed the lacquer in an unventilated area and passed out on my shop floor for two days. The UPS guy found me). Don't know how effective the lacquer thing is over the long haul. I have also dipped a few clip-ons in a liquid called Plasti Dip. See http://www.plastidip.com/home_solutions/Plasti_Dip </div></body></html>
