labeling on chassis

[Quint]

If you will use an acrylic clear spray evenly, then after drying it you can
use clear "shelving paper" and it wont hurt the original as youve coated it.
I dont spray coat unless it is a restored area but I do protect all my
boards with the shelving paper.  It comes in pretty nice size rolls for
about $8 at hardware stores, its like the kind you put in your cupboards but
clear.  It will not harm it in any way, i've had some covered about 10-12
years now and keeps them mint.
