I am not going to recommend this idea. But I will say that I used it on my late 40’s Grumman and also some older automotive stuff.
Epifanes makes a nice marine polyurethane designed for woodwork. It seems to stick tightly to metal too. So I have given a few decals a coat of this poly to seal and protect them. Be extremely careful if you go this route. Some decals re activate and if you over-brush it will pull and ruin the decal.
The coating has an amber hue. I have only used Epifanes because it’s what I usually have available. The UV blockers have helped it last over a decade on my garage doors. Other brands may be as good or better.
Your mileage may vary so if you go this route be sure to test a lot before committing.
